California for the Weekend? Why Not!


To say that our trip to California this weekend was a last minute decision is an understatement.  A random weekend getaway is about as spontaneous as I get.  My weekend in Coronado with Cara, Brenna and Brenna's mom was amazing, even though the weather did not want to cooperate.  We had a 48 hour vacation and chose to eat and shop our way through California- I am still full from this weekend.

The highlight (and focus) of the weekend was definitely the food.  Luckily, Brenna has tried almost every restaurant in the greater San Diego area, so we only ate the best of the best.  One problem- every restaurant was her "favorite restaurant everrr," and we shouldn't worry because "we'll eat there tomorrow."  This is exactly how we managed to eat about 12 meals in two days.  These restaurants included Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill (as seen on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives), True Food, Hash House A Go Go, Bread & Cie, Point Loma Seafoods, Enoteca Adriano, and many snack and dessert places in between.  There is nothing better than spending quality time with your girlfriends over a delicious meal.

Amazing, fresh fish tacos from Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill
Playing in Fashion Valley Mall- what an amazing place!
Fresh, organic food from True Food.  We need one of these in Austin!
Edamame dumplings from True Food.  One of the best things I have ever tasted.

My favorite meal of the weekend was at Hash House A Go Go because I absolutely love breakfast.  This was my second time to eat here, and hopefully not my last.  This restaurant is really fun and unique because every dish is what I like to call "Texas sized" (really really big).  At our table we had a brown sugar banana pancake, hot sticky granola with fruit, eggs, waffles, biscuits, lattes and more.

Assortment of cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes.  Mine is the vanilla one, of course.
