US Grant Hotel in San Diego, CA

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to go to the National School Board Conference that was held in San Diego, CA.  Curtis was able to go with me.  While I was in meetings, he went on adventures by himself.
We stayed in the US Grant Hotel for 4 days. 

 This is the front of the US Grant Hotel. It has a long history that is amazing to read. I put a link you can click on about it here:  http://www.usgrant.net/history
 This is the lobby inside. It was so beautiful.  4 years ago when I came to San Diego for another school conference, I was able to eat in their restaurant (paid by someone else!).  It is extremely expensive - small amounts of food that is like artwork on the plate!


This is what our room looked like. The beds were very comfortable.  We had a frig and microwave to make oatmeal, etc... for breakfast and keep yogurt in.  It took 3 microwaves before one actually worked!!

 At the conference they had displayed the flag that was torn when 9-11 bombing of New York Twin Towers happened.  It had been patched by people over the country. This was the last stop before going back to the Memorial to hang permanently.
