This last minute trip turned out the be a weekend to remember! Since Chris and my Italy trip is now postponed until September (our decision), we decided we at least need a little getaway in the meantime. It had been awhile since we had a nice, relaxing vacation! The plans for the trip continued to get better once we learned that Jamie and Jereme would be there! The Brighams AND The Gabels ("Brigabels"!) and Jay and his family :) How perfect is that? Having all these wonderful friends there is really what made our trip. That and the fact that we had the most amazing beach condo that overlooked the ocean. It might as well have been on the sand it was so close.
Friday, Chris and I spent some time on the beach and then walked down to the Brigham casa for an afternoon drink and visit. We ended up going to The Ale House that night for a little date night. It was delicious with an excellent view. Too bad I slipped down the stairs on the way out, broke my Ray-Bans and busted my elbow and made quite the bruise on my butt cheek ;) Whoopsie! I can't even say I was tipsie :/
The next day was wonderful because we got to see Jereme's home (just 5 minutes from the beach!) and he was kind enough to let us try out his Mimo (mini-motorized scooter). The four of us hopped in the car and drove along the coast to Del Mar, which I LOVE and can't wait to spend more time there! We ate at the infamous Brigantine for the most amazing tacos and margaritas. We sat outside and overlooked the Del Mar race track, which is a site to see! That night, Chris and I hosted a dinner and invited all of our friends over. Although our place was tiny and definitely not kid-friendly, we managed to have a great time with everyone! Jereme's friend Jess and Wells (who are incredible) came over and we all ended up hanging out till late in the evening (okay - 10:30 but we were really tired) :)
Sunday morning, we even got to borrow Wells' mimo and the six of us rode to breakfast, which consisted of some morning drinks (I know - intense weekend). And then with James and J, we rode all throughout La Jolla! I love mimo-ing and I love that area! I would love to live there one day...if even for 3 months out of the year!
I had the best time at The Brigham's BBQ that afternoon! The Gabel's were there with their friends and we all had a blast! Unfortunately, Chris couldn't be there which makes me so sad but he had made prior promises to surf that afternoon. Clearly, it's a tough life for both of us! The Brigham's did an excellent job hosting and definitely kept all of us highly entertained!
Now...if only I can get the Brigabel's to Italy!...
