Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend. Kevin and I went on a road trip to La Jolla California (right outside of San Diego), and stayed at Torrey Pines resort. 

It’s nice to escape the heat for more temperate weather, and you can’t beat a view of the Pacific Ocean over a beautiful golf course. On Friday we skipped town early and made the drive to our resort. We made it just in time to watch the Michigan State football game. It’s always a good time cheering on our Spartans to victory! After the game, we went into town and had a great Italian dinner and enjoyed a bottle of wine at Piatti.

Saturday morning we started the day with a delicious breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool and golf course. I had the famous lemon ricotta pancakes with raspberry syrup, and man were they good!

After breakfast we did some hiking through the Torrey Pines nature reserve and took a path down to the beach to enjoy the water. The views couldn’t be more different than what we are used to in Arizona!

The rest of the day we were poolside before heading into Del Mar for an oceanside dinner at Jake’s. Nothing is more relaxing than watching the sunset and reflecting on life.

On Sunday we spent the day at the Del Mar race track. We had a great time betting on horses and even won some money!

Today we are going to the world famous San Diego zoo before heading home. It was such a fun trip and we made some great memories!
