We stayed at the US Grant Hotel right near the Gaslamp in downtown. After flying in on Friday morning, we headed to Escondido to visit one of TL's half brothers. We also met our nephew for the first time... he is so adorable! We went out to dinner at Pho Ever - a yummy Vietnamese restaurant - and spent the evening catching up.
Saturday was all about The San Diego Zoo! Have you been there before?! It's pretty cool. We were very impressed. They have so many wonderful exhibits with rare animals. We enjoyed seeing it through a 3 year old's eyes... a very exciting place! For dinner, we drove into downtown to Fred's to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with a few margaritas! TL and I also had a drink at The Lincoln Room and The Yard House.
Sunday was spent shopping at Horton's Plaza, exploring La Jolla (we ate breakfast at Il Covo, oh my gosh, so delicious), visiting with family and taking the short drive to Coronado. Small world... while TL was in the bathroom at the famous Coronado Hotel, he ran into one of his long time friends. I know... the bathroom, ironic!
We ended up going to the hotel bar by the beach (beautiful!) and spending a couple hours sipping cocktails. The afternoon turned into evening, and we all ended up back in downtown San Diego at the Karl Strauss Brewery for dinner, then for more drinks and chatting at Quality Social.
Monday, we had breakfast at George's in La Jolla before catching our flight home... it has absolutely gorgeous views, and the food isn't too bad either.
Delicious restaurant in La Jolla - I had the french toast, TL had the Denver Omelet... both were so good! It has a beautiful outdoor patio with views of the ocean.
Views from the bar seating...
Such a fun group!
Views from George's restaurant in La Jolla - a gorgeous morning!
It was a great little trip away... so nice to spend time with family, friends, and each other.
