Sunday we spent a fun day in San Diego with Lauren and Andrew! San Diego has been on our to-do list for quite some time so we finally put it on the calendar and made it happen!! It's less than 1.5 hours from our house, so it's a perfect day trip!!
We started on the isthmus (not to be confused with an island) of Coronado and rented bikes and a surrey - it was perfect - we traded half way through!
The bikes!
Classic:
The surrey!
In action:
After getting in our exercise, we drove through Balboa Park and then headed to The Tin Fish for lunch - yay for fresh seafood!
Then we walked through the Gaslamp District and made a stop at Horton Plaza - here's Andrew with Mr. Horton himself!
Next we headed for Old Town and did a quick drive through there, then on to La Jolla, where Adam took as many opportunities as he could to pronounce the town's name incorrectly because he thought it was fun (correct is La Hoya not La Jolla as in Jolly).
The area reminds me so much of Laguna - I felt right at home! Viewing the seals (or sealions? Is there a difference?)!
One of the many great things about hanging out with the Kings is getting to learn really interesting architecture stuff. It's always SO interesting! We made a stop at the Salk Institute that is famous for its building's architecture and construction out of basic materials like concrete - it was so cool!
After La Jolla, we drove up the coast through all of the great little beach towns - Del Mar, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, etc - there are so many places that I want to go back to and spend more time at!
We finished up the night with another seafood meal at the Fisherman's Galley in San Clemente:
Whew! What a packed but awesome day! We love San Diego!
