Every year, San Diego hosts a weekend festival called December Nights in Balboa Park. The park is covered in lights and filled with a ton of vendors serving different foods and products. The museums are all opened to the public and guests are able to walk around and soak in the Christmas spirit.
However, this year, my friends and I started our night a little too late and weren't able to make it to the parking lot in time to check out the festivities. Thinking on our feet, rather than head home, we decided to explore San Diego and we ended up at Seaport Village.
Seaport Village is a little shopping and eating area near downtown San Diego. It has a quaint feel that makes for the perfect evening. While there, my friends and I stopped into the food court that was filled with authentic eateries. We had some greek food and pizza and were able to eat over looking the water.
We stopped by a mug shop owned by one of USD's accounting professors and even listened to a Beatles cover band in a book shop.
So, even though our night didn't go as planned. We were able to discover a new gem within San Diego. The spot was so beautiful that we can't wait to head back again.
