Janette the Lover of San Diego (Part 1)

Lovey and I had a wedding anniversary weekend getaway (last weekend) in the lovely city of San Diego.  (I. Love. San. Diego!) And it wasn't really our anniversary. Our 4 year anniversary is this week, but we're just over achievers and like to start early on celebrations and stuff.

Here's a pic-summary recap of our entire trip. It was a surf and turf kind of extravaganza. We visited beaches and the city city... with lots of yummy food in between. Amazing right?

First we started out at Solana Beach at the kind recommendation of some lovely friends. And really...it wasn't too dangerous... (chuckles nervously)

 We swam ...Scratch that... Lovey swam in the ocean for a bit... I waded up to my secrets cause I was too chicken to dunk my goodies and head in the water.. Too too cold guys!  (Oh! And don't be overly jealous of our beach home okay?) Bahaha! ;-)

After some short sun bathing at the beach, we drove to my most favorite place of all time in San Diego, the Cabrillo National Monument. I get so giddy at places with majestic 360 degree views...In love right here:

Not only is Cabrillo Monument home of the......Cabrillo Monument...It's also the lucky location of one of 8 lighthouses in California...Or was it the entire west coast of the US?! Or was it 1 of 7??? Hmm.. Now I can't remember anything the informative plaque said... Guuhrate.

 Oh glory that only cost me $5! I'm in love! I had never been inside the lighthouse and didn't have a clue that there were also accessible tide pools at the park. Wham bam!

After visiting the lighthouse, Lovey and I drove down to the beach/tide pool access, hiked for a bit and sat on the edge of this cliff that jutted out over the water...But we only sat for about 30 seconds, cause we both got simultaneous and terrifying thoughts of huge waves (him) and or earthquakes (me) sweeping us off our perch.We're babies, Lovey and I.

Well, that's it for today, friends. I shall have one more San Diego post later this week...But if you're interested in seeing more of the Cabrillo Monument, please check out Stephanie's blog, Big Mario Life. She was there one week before us visiting from San Fran. Cool huh?
