The first night, after a quick orange blossom hefeweizen homebrew and dropping off our bags, we headed to North Park to a local beer bar. You can't beat $3 delicious beer. A couple brews later, we headed over to the Linkery, where we ate some tasty appetizers before heading back to Michael's and turning in for the night.
Tuesday morning...since Katie had never been to San Diego, the 3 of us decided to do the tourist tour of La Jolla Village area and view Seal Rock which is a 'must-see' for anyone visiting. Afterwards we checked out an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art featuring local San Diego Architects which was a nice refresh of creativity and innovative design. At this point, lunch was calling our names so Michael whipped up some tasty carnitas with refreshing gin and tonics to wash it all down.
After spending some time 'being responsible' job hunting and the like we went for a quick walk with Isla to enjoy the always perfect weather. My cousin Long and friend, Jules, came over that evening for steamed lemon butter and rosemary artichokes, and pan-seared cashew encrusted ahi accompanied with fried rice and a fresh salad. The beer of the night was some good ole New Belgium Fat Tire. It was a great way to end the first part of our Californian odyssey.
