A girls' weekend in San Diego!
My mom picked up the girls Thursday night and I had the strange experience of being Home Alone, as Luke and the band were in Indiana. Jenny came over at 5:15 am to drive to the airport and by 9:30 am PST we were having a breakfast sandwich and Bloody Mary at the del Coronado with Susanne.
After a walk on the beach we drove to La Jolla for some window shopping and shopping shopping - I bought two pairs of pants and a top at Lululemon that I plan to wear for the rest of the summer.
Ceviche and palomas at one of my favorite restaurants ever, George's on the Cove. The view!
Can you take a good picture of guacamole? This guac was especially delicious.
Proud to say I had chips at almost every meal of this trip.
More scenic drives and dinner in Old Town. One of my favorite things about San Diego is the gorgeous plants, everywhere.
To bed early and up early for a hilly walk with the dogs in Susanne's neighborhood, a pregame for a hike at Torrey Pines.
Roberto's Very Mexican Food for a chicken cheese quesadilla and carne asada nachos.
Visiting the Golden Lotus temple - a lush garden on the cliff above the ocean. So beautiful.
After a poolside doze and Target run (prosecco, almond champagne, sparkling water, Leinenkugel's grapefruit shandy -- essentials) we dined at Jalapeños. Shrimp ceviche tostada and shrimp cocktail. Both were superb and I want to make them at home! Love love love those bright acidic flavors. We had a hankering for churros and inquired about the best place to get them. The Jalapeños staff said: Costco.
???
El Pollo Loco, just a walk across the parking lot, had churros that were good enough in a pinch. (But really the Costco churros are delicious.)
When Susanne's dog startled me into thinking he was ten hours into rigor mortis but no, he just sleeps funny.
Pre-airport breakfast at Snooze. Eggs benedict two ways: Italian and Tex Mex. Cappucinos, laughs, making plans for our next adventure! #Blessed to have these chicas in my life - and to have parents who love to watch the kids! My cup runneth over. (With guacamole).
A lemon-blueberry pancake for the table.
What did you think of Dept of Speculation?
