Old Town San Diego

This morning I finished up my last day at Young Writer's Camp. I got home around 11, picked up Mom and Diane and we headed out to Old Town. This was pretty brave of them, as they'd spent the morning walking around and shopping in Carmel Mountain. But we are all tough women, so off we went!
We started out with lunch at the Cafe Coyote. See those big ole' margarita glasses? Yeah, they're empty.
Feeling full and relaxed, we then trooped down San Diego Avenue toward Old Town Park. 
Mom saw this print in the window of the Chuck Jones gallery. We went inside to check it out and it turned out the price was reasonable, so she went ahead and bought it! It's titled "In the Light of Justice" and is a signed artist's proof (2 of 25) by Alex Ross. Included in the print are DC superheroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. Mom and her fiance Don are big fans of the comic book genre. This print will hold a prominent place in their home, I'm sure.
We then walked around Old Town for another hour, browsing the stores and taking in the views. Overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable afternoon. Now, it's time to rest up for our Balboa Park adventure tomorrow . . .
