San Diego May 2013

San Diego, told thru Instagram...  

I tagged along on another work trip with my super busy traveling around the United States husband... he flew in Tuesday night, I flew in Thursday morning.  San Diego has been on my list of places to see and I was glad to check it off the list.

The trip started off with going directly to Lolita's with Adam and his co-workers (thanks J!)  for a California burrito... it's a burrito with french fries in it!!!  It was amazing...  we then went to Pink Berry... a favorite west coast treat, that seriously needs to move it's way East.  Afterward, Adam had to go back to work and I had nothing to do but go to the hotel and enjoy cocktails poolside.  Whoa is me.

When Adam was done, we headed to a happy hour and met a client of Adam's at a sports bar BarleyMash.

Adam and I went across the street and had dinner at SearSucker... so delicious (thanks J!).  After that, I headed back to the hotel (making another pit stop at Pink Berry) and Adam went back to the bar to hang with his work peeps.  I was done with beer for the day. 

Friday, we went to Hotel Coronado.  And enjoyed the hotel amenity of lying pool side.  It was so windy... the water in the pool was making waves, but we survived.  We didn't do that however until we put our feet in the Pacific.  My very first time touching West coast waters.

We then headed to Seaport Village where we met up with Jan.  Jan is an old co-worker from my ortho days.  She moved out to San Diego about one year ago and probably won't ever come back.  We headed to happy hour at Anthony's Gratto...our server was Diane.  She was in love with Adam, so needless to say, we got great service!

That night we went to Petco Park and enjoyed a night of baseball.  San Diego Padres won!!!  I love going to different stadiums and comparing them.  Petco Park was really nice.  We had great seats for 20 bucks. 

Saturday we headed out to Balboa Park and walked around a bit.  Look at me climbing trees.

After walking around we headed to Ocean Beach with one purpose only... FISH TACOS at South Beach Bar and Grill.  This was a recommendation to me from a coworker who lived in SD for 6 years... she says she has never found anything to compare.  Sign us up... we were the first customers at 11 am.  And we were not disappointed.  Drinking before noon.... and fish tacos... hey, we are on vacation!!!!!!!!!  

We drove around making a stop at Torrey Pines, so Adam could see the golf course.  We went to Del Mar and La Jolla as well.

Saturday night, we met up with Mike and Anne Marie.  Mike is Adam's stepbrother who lives in San Diego, Anne Marie is his wife.  It was the first time I had met both of them.  We went to Crab Hut, where I ordered 1 lb. of shrimp and just peeled and ate, peeled and ate.  It was awesome.  They even give you a bib and plastic gloves.  Our time with Mike and Anne Marie was short, but it was so much fun!  Next time, we want to meet those cute kids of theirs!!!!!!

We left for home on Sunday.  I was so glad that I got to go too.  It was nice to get out to sunny Cali and place yet another city under my belt!!!

found this in the airport and i love it.
