Dear OP,
Next year, make a trip to San Diego. Make sure it's sometime during baseball season, and that it covers a Sunday. A Padres game is always a good way to spend the afternoon, and it's a great ballpark.
Oh, and make sure you sit right below those Marines who just graduated from MCRD when they start playing a few patriotic songs between innings. Make sure you complain loud and long, so that they can hear you.
