What an adventure we had! We boarded the shuttle from Point Loma and headed down to Old Town San Diego. From there we got on the trolley and took that to Downtown. We rushed over to the waterfront and took a ferry over to Coronado. Our adventure soon turned into a two mile hike to Hotel Del Coronado. After walking through numerous neighborhoods with cool houses and front yards, we arrived at the hotel. We began to explore the old historic hotel with its many passages and hallways, each leading to a different section of the hotel. We went up and down the oldest elevator I have ever seen all in our attempts to reach the many towers that made up the structure of the building. We never could find out how to get up to them but luckily we stumbled upon something even better!
We went outside to a patio only to find a hoppin' party going on. After inquiry we found out that The American Bar Association was throwing a convention that weekend and that tonight was a dinner party. The party had a live band and a catered buffet line. Out of sheer madness we decided to join the party and start up a dance party. We ran over to the only couple on the dance floor and began to shake it down! We were laughing so hard and as the band began to play songs such as "Play That Funky Music" and "Superstition," we broke it down. Soon, the floor was filled with middle aged couples in suits and ties, all dancing with random teenagers in jeans and t-shirts. As we formed a dance line, two friendly African American women cheered us on and shouted for us to keep going. It was about time for us to leave when my heart stopped as Beyonce entered the building, rather the band began to sing Beyonce's "Crazy in Love". I was in Heaven and it was the perfect song to end on.
We laughed so hard on the journey back to school and recounted over and over what a night we had.
Life is good...
