San Diego

Last night the Mr. and I went to San Diego’s Greek Festival.  It was such a great time, and something that I opa! you don’t miss. Everything on offer was great – the food, the wine, the amazing music and dancing.  This was our first time going to Greek Festival, but it will definitely not […]

As the clouds finally started drift away yesterday, the Mr. and I decided to wander down to Little Italy to enjoy a plate of pasta at one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Bencotto. I decided to try out my new Zara pants (mentioned here), and did manage to snap a photo right before we ran […]

If you’re looking for some delicious fresh seafood, then pop over to Oceanaire for their Admirals Hour.  The service is always fabulous, and the food even better. After snagging prime seating in front of the seafood display, we dug into the menu. We settled on our drinks while debating what to start nibbling on. Feeling […]

This past weekend, Little Italy transformed into an outdoor art show, hence the name, ArtWalk.  We have been going for the past 3 or 4 years, and we always look forward to it – good food, good music and great art. After walking around for a bit, we both agreed that it seemed even bigger […]

On Saturday we headed up to Del Mar, where we had been invited to attend the San Diego International Wine Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.  The weather was surprisingly cloudy and overcast for Southern California, but even with the chance of showers, we figured that we might as well go, because wine not? After […]

This morning we had the pleasure of attending a special walk-through of the Art Alive exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park.  Each year floral artists are assigned a painting in the museum to recreate with flowers, using their own artistic interpretation and flair.  This was our fist year attending the […]

Spring has sprung here in San Diego!  And I already know what you’re thinking, don’t we always have flowers and Spring-y weather?  Well, mostly, but we do have seasonal flowers and plants just like any other climate.  So when Spring rolls in, I am always excited for the explosion of colors, especially on the trees.  […]

For me, not many things get better than a great piece of cheese.  So when I heard that a new cheese shop was opening in San Diego (and they invited us to stop in for lunch), I was thrilled!  The Cheese Store has a super cute location in Little Italy on Kettner – it is […]

Last week we decided to head up to La Jolla on a very sunny day here in California, to grab a drink and enjoy the views.  Now this was not just any day of the week, or any kind of drink.  This was pretty much a too good to be true situation. If you are […]

We decided to take advantage of the longer days right now, and get out and enjoy a sunset bike ride.  The air felt a little warmer, and having that late sun feels so energizing.  It felt great to bike around the city and enjoy the beautiful weather.  We were enjoying ourselves so much that we […]
