Night Life: San Diego Edition

After some time at Del Mar beach, and an admittedly a long nap, I decided to check out the night life that I'd heard so much about. Destination: DT, Gas lamp district.

I captured the ride in, as the sun was going down. A bit hazy on the weather, but still lively in the streets.

I didn't capture all the historic essence of the DT architecture, but there were a lot of traditional style buildings mixed in with modern flair. Needless to say, I loved it. A bit cleaner than the dt I grew up in, no offense ATL.

No, I didn't eat here, but I captured it any way. 

and of course you have your "backpack sign"man--for the lazier sign holders.

Passed this and couldn't resist checking out what was going on inside for happy hour...something crazy??

Nope. It was Monday night, but the deals were great any way. No LIVE entertainment unfortunately, false advertising.

Then I "hopped"on over to the hopping pig. I just thought it was a neat name, so I headed in for some pre-dinner fare.

I liked the rustic look it had going on...Then, finally onto the main event--DINNER.
We stopped at a cozy place with rustic design as well called "Cafe 21" Despite it's numeric title, people of all ages eat here, no I.D.'s necessary.

The whole ideo of Cafe21 was organic, home grown fare--even the lemonade selection was legit.

and what?! A flourless gluten free chocolate cake with soft serve on top? I was in adventure peach Heaven.

and then this happened... yes, that is a shake weight.

To add to the delightful after dinner surprise, I came into a live music joint to relax and listen to some classic covers. Dude was pretty good!

The lively crowd.

To finish off the night I went to a dance joint, where I utilized my awesome moves and line dancing maneuvers to get those who were shy out onto the dance floor. If I could embarrass myself, they certainly could.

All in all, it was a really fun night with lots of great things to see, hear, eat, and enjoy. 
DT San Diego, you did not disappoint.
