10 Days in So. Calif. - Aug. 2016

(Temecula, San Diego, Whittier)

We accepted an invite to attend Corinna's wedding in Temecula on Thursday Aug. 4. Alicia was having a baby shower in Whittier, just outside of LA, on Sunday, Aug. 14. So we decided to join the trips and spend the middle week in San Diego. June got a great deal on a getaway through her timeshare.

Through Facebook, the Donohos saw that we were in San Diego, and told us that they would be there that Mon, Tues, and Wed, so we made arrangements.

Wednesday  Aug 3 - Drove to Brandon's and spent the night. He was with Rumi alone, so he enjoyed the company. Moye was in Germany.

Thursday -

• Drove to Temecula, played golf on a unlimited deal with Temecula Creek Inn - $209 for room and 4 rounds.
• Corinna's wedding that evening with Gus, Maria, Dennis, and Alex, and Shannon. Very nice.

Friday -

• Played with Dennis and Alex at Temecula Creek course.
• Drove to San Diego. BBQ at Sandra's. Nice.

Saturday -

• Met Gus, Maria, Holly the dog for breakfast at Waffle Spot.
• Met Sandra and Oscar downtown and toured the USS Midway.
• Wandered around the waterfront.
• Went to dinner with Gus and Maria for Lauren's birthday.

Sunday -

• Hiked at Torey Pines with Sandra and Oscar.
• Pizza afterwards.

Monday -

• Played golf near the Crowne Plaza Hotel at Riverwalk. Very nice. Played by ourselves.
• Walked and ate dinner in Historic district close to our place.

Tuesday -

• Drove to La Jolla and snorkeled in the cove.
• Drove down the coast and checked out beaches.
• Nice lunch at surf Taco.
• Picked up the Donoho's at the Hilton and met Sandra and Oscar at Barleymash in the gaslight district. Had a nice dinner and chat.
• Dessert at Ghirardelli across the street.
• On the way to pick up the Donohos, I accidentally crossed the Coronado bridge. It wasn't too bad going, but coming back was a little sketch.

Wednesday -

• Toured Balboa park. Nice gardens, museums, stuff. Lunch at a very nice place in the park.
• Drove to Coronado and boogie boarded. The bridge over was not bad, but backed up coming home so we went around the south.
• Dinner at The Habit.

Thursday -

• Golf at Chula Vista ($30) very nice but played with a couple of guys my age not very good. Greens were spray painted dark green and very slow Bermuda.
• Lunch at Tender Greens.

Friday - Drove to Whittier.

• Had a disappointing breakfast in La Jolla. Then walked at La Jolla shores.
• Then a semi-leisurely drive to Whittier.
• Grocery shopping, then out to dinner at a nice place not-so-nearby.

Saturday - Light party preparation. Not much else.

Sunday - Played golf at Baker L. Short par-61 course, but fun. 3 of Garrett's friends, Olan, Carl, rode with Erich. Good time.

Monday - Drove home.
