California Day Two: San Diego, Point Loma and Orange Count
- Hard boiled egg with 2 oz cream cheese
- Some salted butter
- Sauteed mushrooms
- Top sirloin steak with blue cheese on top
- A few bites of prime rib
- One strawberry
Spent the first part of our day exploring San Diego! It was cold and rainy, so we hit Rite Aid for a big ol' umbrella and hit the coast. First, we went to Point Loma, which is just the coast of San Diego, which is waaaay south. I freaked out because my little flip phone Welcomed me to Mexico (and notified me that calls would be $1.79 per minute.) We hit the Cabrillo National Monument. We were so close to the border that we were even pulling Spanish radio stations.
We found a great walk-out beach area where we found an awesome view of the Pacific Ocean, so we trudged around the beach. I mostly held the umbrella and tried not to slip down the slippery rocks. It was behind the National Monument, which is a pay-to-enter excursion, which limited the amount of folks on the beach. The cold, rainy weather also limited beach access to basically "just the crazies."
You definitely have this feeling that you drive and you fly and you walk and you're finally "here." You go west and west and west and then... you have finally arrived. How many have come out west with a one-way ticket and a dream?
Then, we drove around to Coronodo Island. We found a little pull-off and viewed the beach. There were kids and dogs and it looked like the perfect place to build a sand palace - weather permitting.
We did a fly-by-night drive through Balboa park and the San Diego zoo parking lot.
Next, we checked into Laguna Hills Lodge where we quickly loaded in and got dolled up for dinner at the Orange Hill Restaurant, which was positively swanky and totally LA. The view... The view. It sits atop a huuuge hill and overlooks LA, Disneyland and surrounding cities. At about 9:30pm, we even saw the the fireworks above Disney, which actually was appeared to be the cutest little firework show above a little doll house.
We gazed into each other's eyes and laughed about the last eleven-plus years of knowing each other while we got all starry-eyed at the amazing view. All in all, a wonderful dinner. The valet even took cones down and let boyfriend snap some photos.
My ex gf lives here, which is kind of odd..... It just doesn't feel like her, but I don't suppose that anything would to me. We were together so long that we were barely recognizable to each other anymore -- or to ourselves.

The ring, day one of our trip
Made it to San Diego!!! Today was mostly a driving day. Ken came home from work at about 10am and we were gone by noon. I drove to San Diego... He slept just a little bit.... It's so cool here... Then, once we got here, we went down the to the pool at 9:20pm...
Since this is a log of what I consume.... I suppose I must include what I ate last night--
Today, just an
one egg fried in butter and lots of diet soda, a little water and low carb energy drinks...
Yesterday, I ate:
- One egg
- Two eggs
- Four eggs
- 4 oz can of albacore tuna mixed with lotsa mayo (sweetened, too, so it is reminiscent of Miracle Whip)
- More Mayo

| Having fun on the way! |

| Coffee in the pool... Vacay has BEGUN! (Complimentary coffee just tastes better) |

SO egg-cited for Cali!
- One egg
- Five egg flax pancakes creation
- Two eggs
- Five eggs with too much mayo
Leaving for California tomorrow!!! I'm making ice as we speak... (or the freezer is)....
So much to do....
I won't be back here 'til I visit next time... which means I will have to have ALL my stuff packed and ready to go. I have this little luggage scale that has proven to be helpful. It was like nine bucks off amazon and I really push that fifty pound limit to the max.
Trying to make the trip more about the adventures and less about the food. And life for that matter! I want to get teeny tiny before I get my skin all hacked off. *sigh*
TEN DAYS IN CALIFORNIA omg omg omg! I have the best boyfriend ever. He literally planned every inch of the trip. I think he missed his calling as a travel agent.
