  • Birthday Morning

    November 3, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We left HB, stopped at Starbucks for my feee drink & now we’re at the Creator’s Club in the Pixar Place Hotel. Breakfast w/ a mimosa & then off to California Adventure!

  • Pixar Place Hotel

    Nov 3–6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Our room was ready early, so we headed here around 2:30 to unpack and rest for a bit. The hotel has been recently rethemed to Pixar and it’s so cute! We also have an amazing view.

  • Laguna Beach

    November 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    Today we’re driving the coast to San Diego. First stop, Laguna Beach! We found parking (shocking!), walked on the beach a bit and had lunch on a quiet pedestrian street. The winds today are crazy, btw. Reminds us of Kansas!Read more

  • San Diego Zoo

    November 7, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Our VRBO owner took us into the San Diego Zoo today as his guests! It would have been $150! We spent 4 1/2 hours there & still didn’t see it all. But we did get to see PANDAS & KOALAS!!! So cool!!! After we stopped at a brewery of course! 😂Read more

  • The Cliffs & Sunset

    November 7, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    Coming back from the zoo we stopped by the Sunset Cliffs. We made sure to be home with plenty of time to enjoy the sunset from our balcony.

  • Seals & Sea Lions

    November 8, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    We drove to La Jolla Cove this morning. I’ve never seen so many seals, sea lions, sea gulls & pelicans! It was so beautiful! Then we ventured down 150+ steps into a cave. What a cool morning!

  • Lunch

    November 8, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    We’re at Karl Strauss Brewing Company. This has to be one of the coolest breweries we’ve been to! Both the food & the beers were great, and it feels like we’re in a zen garden.

  • Cabrillo National Monument

    November 9, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    We went out to breakfast & then headed here. We’re at the southern tip of California, near the bay.

  • Last Day 😞

    November 9, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    From the monument we went to an outlet mall right on the border! Then we went to a couple of breweries. Of course we were back at our VRBO for sunset! Now we’re waiting for pizza at a local pizza brewery & then plan on shopping a bit. Early flight home tomorrow.Read more
