Lorri's Birthday
May 8, 2013! What better way to celebrate a birthday than taking the Coaster downtown to see a Padres game?
My ticket was half-price because I'm a senior. Lorri has a few more birthdays to go...
We started with a little Champagne for the ride.

At Santa Fe Depot we hopped on the Trolley to get to the Gaslamp

Next stop: Seersucker, where we had a nice lunch
Here is the menu. We had one of each.
We saw this guy trying to sneak in the window across the street
We were "O" which we figured stood for "Outstanding"
On to the game
