Hi Eric, please do let me know when you are planning to go to the shop. I'd love to check things out. I've always enjoyed going to Seattle - Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, clam chowder at Ivar's on the waterfront.
BTW, we drove down to San Diego 3 summers ago and visited a friend. We got to see Balboa Park and Old Town - really nice. We were only there for 2 days, so didn't have time to see much. Of course, that was before you had your 1300....
