During our last night in San Diego we went north to the Pacific Beach area to enjoy some food, booze, and a nice sunset. Jon even managed to swim in the ocean!
Around San Diego
During our time at the IDETC09 conference we had some time to wander around town. While there are a lot of good bars in San Diego, there are also a lot of tourist traps. We were able to find most of the good ones and stay away from the bad. Here are a few photos to prove that we were there.

Jon up to his usual tricks.
Justin, always the photographer.
Anthony joined us for a bit, too.
Outside our hotel on the way to the conference.
Trains crossing the street.
The train stopped and backed up. Then it went forward. Then stopped. Then backed up. After about 15 minutes it finally got out of the way and let people cross the tracks.
Some people actually tried climbing between the cars and engines!
Padres Baseball Game
As part of the conference we got in free to a San Diego Padres game. This was my first baseball game ever. I had to have the rules explained to me a few times before I figured out what was going on. After a few innings we left because the beer was expensive and the game was boring.
Our first view of the stadium. This was the first time I had ever been inside a ball park and the first baseball game I ever watched.

Rob enjoying a good laugh.
Matt double fisting it. He represented OSU with pride.
Irem even got in on the beer action.
The field. We sat off of the 3rd base.
