San Diego: Day 3

       On the third day at San Diego, my family and I went to Balboa Park. It was HUGE! So many nice places to see! There were a place to look at, from museums to gardens. There were attractions too and restaurants, as well as buildings to check out while at the park. We stopped at several places, and some of them were the Botanical Building, Rose Garden, Old Globe, Timken Museum of Art, and Spanish Village Art Center. There were so places to look at, I don't remember the names to ever place! We just kept walking and let our feet lead us to places. There's literally so many sights and places to see at the park, you lose track on which ones you went to did not. That's the best part though! It means we had fun and just took our leisure time to go to different areas of the park. Then afterwards, it was close to dinner, so we had P.F. Chang's again! Haven't been there for awhile, so we went again since we are on vacation! Hope you guys enjoy some of the many photos I taken on my trip! 


First, must have our breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. 



Next stop, Balboa Park!


Do you see the bird? It was soo tiny! So cute!


Look at the view!


This wall was pretty cool.


It was so pretty, I couldn't resist! I had to take a picture.

Happy Fourth of July

        Happy 4th of July everyone! What a beautiful today to spend time with family and friends on this important day. It's been 239 years since the United States was born. Time flies huh? It's been some two centuries of lots of changes in our country for the better. Thank you for this wonderful day that marks history for our country. May more happiness come to our country. Have fun everyone! Watch some fireworks while you're at it and sparks some if you want to! Have a wonderful day!
        On another note, I'm sorry for not posting that often lately. Lots of summer school work to do. Lots of reading, tests, and projects I have to get done at the same time. Nevertheless, miracles can happen on this big day right? So I'll do my best to get two more posts done today! Stay tuned! (: I will also update this post with fireworks pictures later at night so stay tuned for that as well!



Here are some fireworks pictures I took tonight!

New Adventures


       Today was a day well spent. I went to Polly's Pies for the first time ever with my dad and sister and it was so good! Breakfast was amazing. I got the ABC omelette. It had avocados, bacon, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and green onions. Delicious! Then I went to Granada Park for the first time ever and it was so pretty and huge. Bigger than most parks I've seen. I didn't get a picture unfortunately, cause I was busy filming and doing a project with my group for summer school. It was so peaceful and quiet there. There were butterflies there too. A very pretty sight to see. I haven't seen butterflies since I went to San Diego. Hope everyone had a good day today. Less than one hour until our country was born. Well not exactly at 12, but close enough. A big day ahead. Happy early Fourth of July everyone!

San Diego: Day 2

       On the second day at San Diego, the first stop after breakfast at the hotel was... Tuna Harbor! Yes, a place where fishes can be sold actually. There is a fish market there and a seafood market restaurant there. It was being renovated when we were though sadly, couldn't try out the seafood. Nevertheless, the ocean there is lovely. More ocean and sea breezes along the way. And we saw the most famous statue, Unconditional Surrender. You may have seen it, it's the famous statue where a sailor is kissing a nurse. So sweet huh? It was when the people were are overjoyed that World War II ended. The lovely piece was inspired by the celebration in NYC's Times Square, back in 1945. Next to it was the U.S.S. Midway Museum. We wanted to stop someplace else so we didn't go on board. Next time!
       After Tuna Harbor and a little more cruising around the Midway Museum, we headed off to Hotel Del Coronado. It was a lovely hotel. The place had the beach so we stopped there as well and got some ice cream along the way. Very creamy, yet delicious. There were little stores there too so we stopped by in some of them, such as candy store and t-shirts store. Then we went to Belmont Park, where there was carnival area and some shops there that we walked into. There were some knick knack shops as well. It was getting a little late, so we headed to eat dinner at Corner Bakery.


The ocean is so nice.

San Diego: Day 1

       First week of June and off to San Diego my family goes! The best start of the whole month! Couldn't have asked for a better one. Along our way up to San Diego, we stopped at Blaze for lunch while shopping at an outlet. First time trying Blaze, and it was good! Then we headed back on the road and stopped at La Jolla. It was such a beautiful sight to see! It's been a while since I went to the beach. It was so pretty! The ocean was gorgeous and once you step out of the car, you can smell that saltines in the air. That's when you know you are at the beach! The breeze in your face with the sun out topped it all off. After we arrived at San Diego, we headed out to eat at P.F. Chang's. With a full tummy, we headed off to the mall there. Shopping time!!!


Blaze!!! The Veggie One! Veg Out! 


A walkway for the perfect afternoon


Must let my feet take me to places you know?
