Retro in San Diego

Kings's Inn - Pool
Originally uploaded by KwanYin.

Most of us went to San Diego for Christmas. Christopher was not able to come but David, Duncan, Cameron, Kelsey and I made the trip. It was combined celebration of Christmas and my mother's 70th birthday. The kids had not been back to San Diego since 2001 and David had never been there.
We stayed at the King's Inn in Hotel Circle. It's a 50s motel that has been redone as a Hotel. It was a wonderful place to stay for me...very Polynesian and retro. Here is a picture of the hotel pool:

The employees were very nice and it was centrally located for all of our trips. It ended up being a wonderful choice and to top it all off, they had a waffle restaurant on the premises. It was called The Waffle Spot and had all these characters on the menus like Sir Robin of Flapjacks and Sir Up (which used to be Sir Imp because I think the people that designed the menu didn't speak English as a first language!) David's favorite character was the Waffle King so we had to take a picture:
