While the Chicago area is in buried in their biggest blizzard in ages, I'm sitting here with some residual sun burn from my fun weekend. (though I can't say I wouldn't love a snow day or two!)
When Kim arrived Wednesday evening, we headed off to C level for a lovely dinner watching the sunset in the harbor. I love this place! We both enjoyed Syrah, Kim ordered the roasted lamb on rosemary foccaccia (the chutney they put on this sandwich is out of this world!) and I had lobster BLT with lobster bisque.
and we headed off to the Old Globe for a musical production of Jane Austen's Emma
i love grabbing a hot cocoa at intermission. yum!
After a much needed sleep-in, Thursday brought us to La Jolla. It was a perfect day.

Brunch at the Brockton Villa at my MIL's suggestion was delicious.
Check out the view from our table!
Kim got the artichoke, asparagus and goat cheese omelette, and I got the house special orange Coast Toast.
they served my (hot) latte in a clear cup with a straw!

Kim's first dip in the pacific
After a long stroll around the coast, we headed inland for some leisurely shopping.
must. get. gelato. (though it's nothing like the real deal)
a first for everything--this is the first cupcake shop I've been in. They even had a gluten free option for Kim!
Consignment shops galore provided some new duds for both of us.
We finished up the day at a local winery, Orfila, where we did a tasting and enjoyed the sunset.
