La Jolla calls....

As nice as the condo and Imperial Beach was, I kept having flashbacks of Spring Break 2009 and La Jolla was calling. The beach there is beautiful and the place just screams vacation. And, well, this girl needed a vacation. We cleaned up the condo (really, my mom did most of that. I really can't take that credit. That's one of the many pluses of taking a mom on vacation), locked it up, and drove 20 minutes to La Jolla. First stop...the temple.
The San Diego temple is simply one of the most gorgeous ever. That's just the way it is. It is getting cleaned right now, so some of the windows are taped up, but my mom and I did a session there, and it was just beautiful. We also did family names for two sisters, which made it even better.


Next, Burger Lounge. We went there last year also, and, basically, they are the best hamburgers in the world. And they didn't disappoint.

And then. We went to our hotel. Now, finding a hotel in San Diego requires a lot of searching. There are gaslamp district hotels, which are cool, but mostly if you want to go clubbing. There are beautiful resort hotels, but they are miles away from La Jolla and everything else. So finding the perfect hotel in La Jolla can be rough. We stayed at La Valencia. It was built in 1926, it's in the middle of La Jolla, it's kinda fancy, and it looks out directly over the ocean. We decided that if two nights were free for vacation, one $300 night was okay. Especially if the hotel upgraded us to the $500 room, which they did. The view was incredible. The bed was incredible. And the whirlpool tub was incredible. Whoo-hoo!!

I am pretty positive you aren't drinking wine in the bathtub, but it sure looks like it. I love how you can justify a $300.00 a night hotel.
