Tuesday – On to La Jolla

Tuesday morning we packed up and the six of us headed down to La Jolla to meet Dave and Jean. We planned a leisurely drive donw the coast highway to show Mickey and Paul and Carol and Anthony a few of our favorite haunts.  We came through Oceanside and Carlsbad and made our first stop at the Pannikin.

We drove by my Mom’s house and then stopped for a bit at Moonlight Beach.

Back in the car for a quick ride through downtown Encinitas and then a stop at the Self Realization Fellowship’s Meditation Gardens.  This was a big hit.

On down the coast highway through Solana Beach and then to Del Mar where we had lunch up at the top of the shopping center where we always go.IMG_1305

After lunch we continued down the scenic route arriving at the Grand Colonial in La Jolla.  We got upgraded to an ocean view room which was very nice. Dave and Anthony already had ocean view rooms but the funny thing was that Paul and Mickey’s “partial” ocean view room was the biggest and had just as much ocean view as any of the other rooms.  We all met in Dave and Jeanne’s room for a great reunion with wonderful wine that Dave had brought.
