A Weekend in San Diego
This past weekend, we got the chance to head down to San Diego! I'm currently still here until the end of the week working on the next volume of the Nations journal but I thought it would be great if A could come down with me for the beginning or tail end. He was only here for a day and a half, but we squeezed in as much as we could. Here are some iPhone photos from our time together. He loved it and we loved being away from Seattle. I adore hanging out with this guy; he makes my heart flutter. Life with your best friend is pretty swell, guys! Cannot thank our friend Brianna for hosting us enough!
SATURDAY //
A really wanted me to take a photo of this sweet car and I just liked the surfboard mailbox.
Saturday morning brunch
We headed into San Diego after a tasty brunch with B at Le Papagayo
Currently Aaron's reading this book and I'm reading a classic, The Grapes of Wrath.
We walked around at Balboa Park and laid in the grassy shade. Ah, it was nice.
Of course, we had to grab some ice cream! Hammond's was recommended to us; of course we had to get the infamous ice cream flights. We tried Vietnamese Coffee, Banana Cream Pie, Thai Iced Tea, Lychee Cream and Mango Sorbet.
That night, we met up with Joel's family and Brianna at Stone Brewing. Super rad place and the food was so good! We tried this awesome beer that was in a wine bottle (see photo below). It was a great night and we had some good chats with them. I was happy Aaron finally got to meet 'em!
another car A wanted me to take a pic of...
SUNDAY //
We headed to Steady State for some coffee in Carlsbad before meeting up with B for church at North Coast. Coffee was on point. Good rec!
For lunch, we headed to the Taco Stand... because duh.
We had some time to kill so we attempted to drive to La Jolla so I could show Aaron but traffic was pretty bad; we managed to get there but then had to leave right away.
Saxon, Joe and his parents happened to be in town the same weekend so we met up with them at Bottlecraft in Little Italy. Lots of beers and talks about beers later, A had to leave to make his flight! We had such a great time though and am thankful we were able to see some friends.
I have a feeling all of our future travel blog posts will be lots of food photos. Sorry, not sorry. Already missing you, babe!
