Fact: San Diego is pretty
Water. Sky. Clouds. Sun. Trees. Cactus.
There's really nothing like a sunset on a beach.
Next up: the zoo.

San Diego Tour Guide
San Diego is pretty awesome. It was sunny. Everyone rode a bike - no one wore a helmet. The streets are super wide & in alphabetical order. There's so much water. The palm trees are awesome. Plus the beach in general takes the cake.
If you're looking for a fun getaway, we'd definitely recommend the following:
WHERE TO STAY:
Airbnb on Pacific Beach.
Specifically this colorful studio for $89 a night!
It even had its own private deck : ) WAY better than an expensive hotel.
HOW TO GET AROUND:
None other than car2go. At 41 cents a minute it will make each day an adventure.
WHAT TO EAT:
Fish tacos from Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill (my friend's family's chain!)
Pancake Flight from Snooze
Ramen from Underbelly
WHAT TO DO:
Check out the swanky library
Relax on the beach.
Watch the sunset at Sunset Cliffs.
Walk around Kate O. Sessions Park - awesome views of Downtown.
Walk along the waterfront & see the fun statues.
Tour the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum.
& of course, go to the zoo!
Next up: The scenery.

Oh Mrs. Queen Anne
This past Saturday EJ & I headed for the hillside & enjoyed a walking tour of Queen Anne called
The morning began with a cup of coffee paired with a side of good conversation.
From there, we met our fellow tourists in front of the former West Queen Anne Elementary, now a condominium building.
We learned about the Mr. Kerry (a member of the parks department), loggers, shifts in architecture styles & a grab bag of historical facts as we walked through our beloved neighborhood.
Not to mention gawk at some pretty impressive mansions!
Here are my favorites -
European influences : )
Queen Anne, I'll stroll with you any day!
