CAhusband and I feel so lucky to have had a wedding in La Jolla on the Friday night of our anniversary weekend, because it was the perfect excuse for us to escape the heat and travel to an area of San Diego we hadn't been to before!
Friday night we checked into our hotel,
The Grande Colonial, which was also where the reception was. We then walked to the ceremony which was on a grassy patch overlooking the ocean. The wedding was beautiful, and we truly enjoyed seeing some of our best friends from home that we hadn't seen in years tie the knot!
Saturday we slept in, then set out for brunch at
Whisk'n'Ladle! This restaurant was outstanding, and was definitely one of those places we would have eaten at several more times if we'd had the chance. The atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic!!
After brunch we walked for 4 hours ALL through La Jolla! The weather was at least 30 degrees cooler than what we've had in the desert, so being outside without suffocating was fantastic! We couldn't stop talking about how nice it felt to just walk around, a luxury we haven't been able to enjoy lately in the furnace where we live.
After walking for 4 hours, we stopped at
PrepKitchen for a glass of wine/beer and enjoyed a cheese plate. We weren't eating dinner 'til 8:30, so this little break was just what we needed, plus the cheese was FANTASTIC!
Saturday night we went to dinner at
George's California Modern to celebrate our anniversary. This meal was the highlight of our trip, and is highly recommended if you ever want a fine dining dinner in La Jolla! We ate and drank ourselves silly, and loved every second of it. We had amazing ocean views, and impeccable service; it was the perfect anniversary dinner!
Sunday we woke up nice and early to get in a huge walk before heading home! It was 66 degrees, which felt super cold, but was also AMAZING. We had breakfast and coffee at a local coffee shop, then set out on our walk. We walked for almost two hours, and again relished every second of being outdoors without the threat of heat stroke or dehydration!
Overall we had a fantastic anniversary weekend! We both loved La Jolla, and can't wait to go back!!
