This past weekend, I took Friday off and flew out to San Diego to visit Molly and Adam Ralph. I just can't believe Molly has been out there almost 3 years now and this is my first trip!! I had a great time visiting and seeing the sites.
Thursday night I got in and we went straight to a late dinner. It was at a great place on the Harbor that had an incredible view of the San Diego sky line. The company and food was terrific :)
Friday: Molly and I got up and went for a long walk around the city. Their condo is in an amazing location right in downtown so you can easily walk everywhere. We went through the Gas Lamp district, Little Italy and wound back by along the Harbor. The weather was perfect, sunny and in the 60s. We had lunch and then headed to Coronado. She showed me the gorgeous houses and cute downtown area. Then we layed on the beach. Although we were in sweatshirts/pants, it was still so nice just soaking up the sun and chatting on the beach. We headed back to San Diego and I went for the 1st of 2 visits to YogurtLand. This is by far one of my favorite places ever!! After that we headed back to the condo to shower and just chill...we had a busy day! When Adam got home we got ready and headed to Gringo's (a fav Mexican place) for dinner. I loved being able to eat outdoors and just the overall variety. The margaritas were delicious too!! We were all exhausted for some reason so we fell asleep by 9:30...just like normal for me!!
Saturday: The 3 of us took Diggy for a nice long walk. We got coffee at Molly and Adam's fav place and then headed to Little Italy and wandered around the Sat morning Farmer's Market. It was a great, long walk around the city. Then we headed out for a drive up the coast. There are so many beautiful places around San Diego!! The beach was amazing and the landscape so different than what I expected. We got to see the beach with all the seals (Molly's fav, ha!) We had lunch at a great cafe and then headed back. They showed me around Old Town and a few other areas near by before we headed home. After relaxing for a bit we went to happy hour at the Glass Door. This place had an amazing view and was a really cool atmosphere. The drink specials were great too! We then headed out in search for an Italian restaurant. Our 1st choice was packed so we decided to try someplace completely new to all of us. Our gamble paid off because this place not only had a great atmosphere, but amazing food and wine! We headed for a night cap to a place in Balboa Park for a dessert martini...I had Hot Apple Cider martini which was AMAZING!
Sunday I headed home early on a rainy Sunday morning. I'm so lucky the weather was nice the entire trip and only rained on the day I left!!
Overall, I had a great trip. It is always fun catching up with the Ralph's and having some good girlfriend time. Its great knowing that I have friends all across the country that I can pick up with as if we still live together. I'm so excited for Molly and Adam as they get ready to expand their family and can't wait to visit again (this time with their baby in the mix!) I can't wait for my trip in May to see all of my girlfriends at Lawley's wedding!!!!
