One of the new places was Balboa Park in San Diego. I had been there briefly once, but didn't really see a lot. It is a cluster of a bunch of museums that range from Art to Automobiles to Natural History. We even went to one the art museums there.

Balboa Park
My parents recently came to visit me in So. Cal. for 10 days. We had a great time. I not only got to play tour guide, but I even got to see some new places that I hadn't been to yet with two of my favorite people :)

U2 Concert
Here are some pics and videos from the U2 concert that I went to at the Rosebowl in Pasadena. I didn't want to try to take my camera into the venue, so i used my iPhone for these pics and videos.
The stage after the Black Eyed Peas opened before U2 came out.
The screen flexes apart and extends down.
A short video from the song "Mysterious Ways".
Video from "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

Pasadena
Finally a new post about California! My coworker and I went to see U2 in concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I had never been to Pasadena, so we went a few hours before the concert to check out the town. We went to the shopping district.
Come back tomorrow for a couple pics and videos of the U2 concert!

Seattle -Last Day
Finally,I am posting my last post from the Seattle trip....a whole 2 months later. The last day I spent roaming the city on foot while I waited to take my evening flight.
I started off the day with a goal to visit Salumi, a small deli-type place owned by famed chef Mario Batali's parents. I learned about the place from one of my favorite TV shows- "No Reservations" when they did an episode on Seattle. The show mentioned that there is a line out the door everyday, so I tried to go early. I found it sooner than I expected and they weren't open yet and there was no line so I walked around the neighborhood.
Salumi is right down the street from Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks football team. You know, the team that lost to the Steelers in Super Bowl XL ;)
Mt. Rainer in the background.
Salumi
10 minutes before Salumi opened, there was indeed a line that had formed while I was taking pics of the football field.
You can buy deli meats or get a sandwich there. The place is tiny and only has 2 tables, so you share the table with other people.
Back to the waterfront.
The Edgewater is a famous hotel that we learned about on the Duck Tour. The Beatles stayed there once and fished from there hotel room.
The clearest view that I got of Mt. Rainier was from the airport.
Stay tuned later this week... I have a couple pics from the U2 concert I went to in Pasadena as well as some new San Diego pics.
