Pizza Port in Ocean BEACH

Yeah...Oceanside is very different than Ocean Beach...which is where we are. Having lunch at Pizza Port, no where near my parents, but ready to come home. We just had awesome pizza, and I had a 90 Minute in tap, and life is good. We are playing cribbage and hanging out until the plane leaves.

Wish for smooth skies for me and a quick flight home.

We loved San Diego!!!

This morning's walk...

...was so great! Why we haven't been walking in the morning every day is beyond me. It is absolutely gorgeous today, and I think we have landed on going to Balboa Park for a walk, then to Pizza Port in Oceanside for lunch. Funny, my parents will be in Oceanside sometime today - they are driving to San Diego just as we are leaving. Maybe the fates will cooperate and we can see them before leaving.

Last Day in SD

Today is our last day in San Diego. We have had amazing beers, amazing food, got to see my friend CG for dinner, and have seen some pretty fabulous sites. We are heading out for a walk and then figuirng out what to do today until we leave.

Options are:

- USS Midway Museum
- Balboa Park
- San Diego Zoo

What will it be?

Pliny denied...again...

So we went back to Toronado since they had Pliny on tap. And guess what? They were out! I guess I should be happy I got it once. Maybe the liquor store will get some in today. Start your prayers now.

Three Breweries: Ballast Point, Hess, and Green Flash

The three breweries we went to on Wednesday couldn't have been more different.

Ballast Point - in an office park, big tap room, quiet during the day. They had a number of good beers, and Chris really liked the Sculpin IPA. I liked the Wahoo Wheat. It was nice - quiet, nice people working there, low key.



Hess - in an industrial park, whole public area was the size of my living room, people everywhere since I think it was Food Truck Wednesday. They call it a nano brewery, and we had just a couple of samplers - they were good. We did not stay long. Ha!

Green Flash - enormous area, like a giant party, thirty-ish taps on the wall, served 12 different beers. We bought a few for home, I really like the saison. Marketing genius...also had a good truck outside.



We have some great ideas for JM and the new brewery - these places really know how to pull the public in and keep them there. For a Wednesday, it was like a Saturday night!

Lunch at Neighborhood

After we got back from La Jolla, we walked down to a restaurant called Neighborhood - heard they had good food and a great beer list. We went in, and my mouth was watering just thinking about another Pliny. I looked over, the tap handle was there...and then she said, "Oh, we are out of that."

Then. Take. The. Tap. Handle. Down.

In any event, we got salads and split a burger. All were actually fantastic. I had the beet salad and WOW, super good. I was pleasantly surprised - great food. Crabby about the beer.

Breakfast in La Jolla

We had breakfast in La Jolla on Wednesday at this cute little place called the Cottage. Great food, lovely little California bistro. We then went for a walk down to the beach. It was pretty windy yesterday, so not as warm as it had been, but the sun was shining and it was beautiful!

I wonder what it would be like to live somewhere like La Jolla, right on the ocean, weather beautiful all the time. Would you appreciate it? I'm not sure - but I could definitely spend time here just relaxing and looking at the view.
