OLD TOWN

Day One:

Old Town - about a dozen blocks filled with original

historical buildings and shops

showcasing the spirit and origin of San Diego

First shop we hit was a winner...

Meet the biggest self-admitting-spicy-wimp EVER.

Holding one of the hottest sauces in the world.

 Yes, it's SO HOT you have to sign a waiver to buy it. 

 Yeah, that's my husband. He works out.

 The Mormon Batallion Center!

 Yep. We're legit.

 Then we walked around a bunch of shops and historical sights

and needed to stop for lunch at Cafe Del Reyes.

 I LOVE OUTDOOR EATING!

 Yummy chips and salsa.

 We spent the rest of the afternoon at La Jolla Shores

one of the best beaches in Southern California

 We saw some of the tidepools

and Phil saw and touched a sea anemone for the first time

 My model.

 EPIC

 It was awesome

 Then we went BACK to the beach that night with my family for a bonfire.

Windy, but a must.

Not a bad start to the most relaxing week of my life.

(You think that's a lot of pictures...just you wait...)
