More Coronado and Hotel Del

Sunday night we set out on a walkabout and had drinks at the Brigantine and continued down the street to one of our favorite places in Coronado. If you haven't been to the Night and Day Cafe it's time you tried it. This is Keith our chef for the evening. The cafe only has about 12-15 seats in it and when we walked in Keith was sitting at the counter reading the newspaper. He didn't look all that happy when we walked in and we didn't know what to expect but we had a blast with him. And he's a an excellent cook too!

Here's a shot of the dining room in our suite at the Hotel Del. And yes, that is a bottle of Silver Oak on the table.

The living room where Limo Man stretched out to relax.

Ahhhh, the boudoir, er, I mean the bedroom.

I couldn't resist taking a shot of this sign. It reminded us of two of our neighbors.

This guy showed up the next morning and just sat there as we opened the screen door to get a better shot. I think he was waiting for food.

Valentine's Day Get Away & A Life's Dream

On Sunday the 13th of February we drove down to San Juan Capistrano to get on the train to San Diego. We had breakfast at Sarducci's our favorite little restaurant right at the train station.

I thought we were staying at the Hard Rock hotel in downtown San Diego for 2 nights but Limo Man surprised me with a ferry ride to Coronado Island and a night's stay at the world famous Hotel Del Coronado. I couldn't resist getting a shot of the statue of a sailor and his cutie as we ferried over to the island.

We had a suite on the 3rd floor of the Victorian wing of the hotel and this was the view from our balcony.

I love to see this man relax. They actually had 2 chairs and a rocker on the balcony and Limo Man was in heaven in the rocker.

Our suite is just below the flagpole. You might be able to see the towel hanging there.

This is a shot of the hotel from the beach. If you ever get the chance to stay here you won't be disappointed. The Hotel Del exudes classical elegance and I felt like I was in a movie!

This is the Del's logo....this was actually the side of a trash bin.

We had to get shot of the chandelier in the lobby. This shot was taken on Valentine's Day as we were getting ready to go back to downtown San Diego.

Back in August I got a picture from Limo Man of the Hotel Del and have always wanted to stay there. Now that we have it's going to be tough to beat the experience. It was a life's dream come true! I love you Limo Man!

Huntington Beach Marathon

Super Bowl Sunday Limo Man was shuttling peeps to a private party so I took a walk down to the Beach. This is one of my favorite houses close to downtown. It's kind of got that old Cape Cod feel to it.

There were so many people who already finished the Marathon (which I completely forgot about) and this couple was kind of hobbling back to their car.

A marathon banner on the pier.

It seems like there are steel drums on the pier plaza every weekend. People really get a kick out of these guys!

Living on the left coast.....Ahhhhhhhhh.....

Okay, So It's Been Awhile.....

Limo Man got an oven mitt from my Mom for Christmas. It quickly became his gift opening glove.

Isn't he just the cutest?

Limo Man brought home this big box and wrapped it all by himself. The "bow" was just a little unusual though. It's actually one of my exercise balls but hey, it's green right?

Here is what was in that great big box. Keurigs make coffee making SO easy!

And since we have been attempting to make our own pizzas my Dad sent us a pizza stone package. Ah, so nice!!!

We had a nice quiet Christmas at home together. Sorry it took so long to get anything posted. I have finally come out of my "Microeconomic funk". Now on to better things!
