end of summer.

Yes, I have taken a bit of a haitus.  Too busy, too hot to cook, too much time away from home and a summer romance kept me away from all things blog!  

But I ended the summer with a fantastic little trip down to San Diego for a brewery crawl with dear old dad (mom was the designated driver).  I forgot what a great town San Diego is!  The breweries are exceptional and worth the trip for any craft beer lover.  A photo diary....

  One of the most beautiful art museums in Balboa Park (great example of Spanish Churriguera architecture)....

Lovely patio for sangria (and I couldn't resist picking up some papel picado for my outdoor space)....

 Scruffy puppy after an ocean dip....

 The interior of the gorgeous Hotel Del Coronado....
