This weekend I visited Larry in NY.  After a surprisingly good Amtrak ride up Friday night, we went to a Mets game on Saturday,

and then out to dinner Saturday night at a cute little hidden place in Meatpacking called Gin Lane.  After that we went to One for a while (and even got a limo […]

The dreaded day had finally come - our last day of vacation.  We started Sunday off with breakfast at the Hash House, which is decently well known in San Diego for DECadent food and ginormous portions.

That’s me and my S’mores Latte.  Unfortunately, our camera battery died so I couldn’t take pictures of our huge breakfasts […]

Today was our first full day in San Diego.  After a Starbucks run, we attempted to go to Mission Beach.  Cool town, but we couldn’t find parking ANYWHERE (Labor Day Weekend again), So we got back on the road and went to La Jolla instead.  La Jolla was even nicer.  We went to the beach […]

On Friday we woke up and sadly checked out of our great room.  Today was a beach day though so we headed up Route 1 into Malibu and Zuma Beach.

We got to the beach decently early, but it soon filled up (Labor Day Weekend).  Pretty beach though, lots of surfers and nice houses along the […]

Thursday was our second full day in LA.  In the morning we got coffee at a Peet’s (not bad) and hit the laundromat (I can’t do a ten day trip without doing laundry).  Fortunately, we could leave it and pick it up later, so we didn’t have to waste time there.  Next we went to […]

Today was our first full day in LA. We got the touristy stuff out of the way first and saw the Kodak Theater, Mann’s Chinese Theater,

the Walk of Fame, and the Hollywood sign.

We also walked around the little mall and saw a TLC show in production in one of the patios.

We also saw Wee […]

Today we woke up early and hit the beach.  We had it almost to ourselves, minus a few dudes who apparently slept there the night before.  The beach we were on was right next to the harbor, so it was more of a bay, but the sand was nice and the view was awesome.

We stayed […]

Monday we woke up, checked out of the Palomar and headed south on route 1 to Santa Barbara.

The beginning part of the drive was a bit foggy.  It would come and go, but you could definetely feel the coolness of Northern California. We stopped a couple places along the way to take some pics of […]

Today we hit Napa Valley. We started our day with some Starbucks and then picked up our AWESOME convertible rental. From there we headed out of San Francisco, past Lombard Street,

over the Golden Gate bridge

and out to the Valley. About half way there the fog cleared and the top came down.

Our first stop […]
