Trip to San Diego and Orange County

This week I was in San Diego and Orange County for a few days meeting with potential clients for my IT consulting business, as well as catching up with some great old friends.
 
On Friday night I stayed at a hotel in downtown San Diego. I used to know that city pretty well from when I went to school at UC San Diego and worked downtown driving horse drawn carriages throughout college. But as I walked around that evening I couldn’t believe how much things had changed. I walked by the barn that we used stable the horses in (the old San Diego Police Station) and found that it’s now a Cheesecake Factory. I had to go in, and it was pretty strange remember all of the horses that were stabled in the same space that now full of tables and booths.
 
It’s really nice to see how far downtown has come. I could never live there again (I think I’m much better suited to live out in the forests of Oregon), but I had a great night remember all of the memories and friends I made during my time there.
