Last Days In San Diego

Our time in San Diego has gone by so fast! It's hard to believe we spent 5 months here. As I reflect on our time here I have such great memories of how much our Nelly has grown.
We were so blessed to experience so many different things. We got to get in a few more sites before we left.

December Nights at Balboa Park


First things first...

Lobster bisque and lobster roll!!! SO GOOD!



Exploring the cities Christmas lights….


….and cool food spots






Our last free day off together was spent packing but we were able to make it out to Sunset Cliffs one last time and to C Level for dinner!




Tj and Noelle made good of their free time while I was at work, attending another Chargers game


San Diego had amazing weather, great views and tasty food. It has been a dreamed realized when God allowed my family to go out on the road. God has been tremendously good to us and I couldn't think of a more fulfilling way to experience life then traveling the country with them. I have also come to some realizations.
1) I would love to live in a city with actual seasons
2) Cultural diversity is a MUST for so many reasons; i.e. radio stations, soul food joints, etc.
3) Going out of your way to be kind to someone is not a requirement but when someone does it for you, you understand the need for those people. I've always considered myself a friendly person but the next time I am ever in a situation where I can go beyond "nice" or "helpful", I will. Coming from an environment where you know everyone, you get comfortable knowing you'll have several positive interactions with people you like and who like you. I think I forgot about how hard this part was going to be from the last time I traveled. By the time you get to know people it's time to move on. But I'd like to take this time to thank Heather Garcia for being that person to me!!

Thank you San Diego!!!

Tj's Birthday Weekend

Sunset cliffs has been on our list of places to visit in San Diego for awhile now and we finally made it!! It was as breathtaking as it had been described.

 Birthday Boy!



His birthday fell on a Sunday so of course he made sure that if we were going to be out, he would have his football. GeeZ!!! Does anyone else have this issue with their husband? 
 God San Diego's weather is perfect! Not one cloud in the sky
Birthday kisses

A Foodie's Weekend Dream

This past weekend Tj and I had experienced lots of different foods, thought I'd share cause you know #SavageLife

I tried Better Buzz for the first time, a coffee place that I heard about through my coworkers. I got an iced "best drink ever" and it was quite tasty. I never drink iced coffee and surprisingly I liked it. 
 Tj is obsessed with Kati Thai, a restaurant in San Diego that we knew very well before moving here. I had the pineapple fried rice!!
On Saturday we went on a Bite Tour through La Jolla. It was an especially hot day for San Diego so walking to each restaurant was not ideal. The food on our first stop wasn't great.
 Now this apple pancake at Richard Walker's Pancake House was pretty amazing 
 And someone really enjoyed gnawing on the bacon


Loved the chicken caesar crepe on the left



The last stop was Olive Oil tasting which I never knew was a thing
We heard about the San Diego Night Market from a guy on our Bite Tour, so we figured what the heck

 It was Asian night

 ONE DOLLAR lashes, and I only got 3 pair. What is wrong with me?


 LUMPIA!!!!!
 All of the lines were insane, including the one for this lemonade I had never tried

 It was worth it
 Tj's Saigon fries 



What a yummy weekend :)
