California Dreamin...

So last month, July 2nd thru the 5th to be specific, my beau and I went to San Diego, California for a mini vacay.  Since we wanted to stay somewhere on the beach, we decided to invite another couple to join us.  Staying on the beach on a holiday can be quite costly.  By inviting the other couple, we were able to split the room cost four ways which made it cheaper to stay at the hotel on the beach.  We figured $150 per person for three days and three nights is do-able....  So off to the beach we go!

The tall dude would be my beau.  I am sure you can assume that next to him would be Moi.  Next to us would be the other couple, obviously!  Our days were spent eating at the restaurants on the boardwalk, playing in the ocean (which by the way was FREEZING), getting our tan on and my favorite past time, people watching!

Lol.  I didn't actually use a fork and a knife to eat.  Gotta use what god gave ya, hands and fingers.  There's no other way of eating a lobster.  The messier the better.  :-) 

Hey it wouldn't be a party without a little Margarita.  And thanks to those Jersey Shore kids, with a side of Coronita!

What was left of my lobster.  Poor thing, sure put on a good fight!  Hey it was finger licking good...




We didn't actually have lobsters every night.  We also noshed on pita sandwiches, sushi on a rotating belt, hash browns topped with Feta cheese and much more.  I wish I was able to take pictures of everything mentioned.  Unfortunately, I kept forgetting to take my camera with me.  :-(  I am still kicking myself for that!


He stole a kiss.  I was a little upset with him but nothing like a little kiss to lighten things up.  A little bit of alcohol helps too!

The sun was so bright and I could not get away from it.  To make it worst, I got burnt while laying out on the beach, so I was getting a little annoyed because my skin was definitely stinging.

Beautiful Sunsets.  Oh how much I want to move out there!  Wishingful thinking.

Oh oh...  Watch out for beach patrols.  Apparently, one can get in trouble if busted with alcohol on the beach.


Nostalgic.
I loved every minute of this.  Granted there were a few bumps on the road, I would not change anything about this vacation....
