San Diego 2018 Day 3

Today we rented a car and drove to LaJolla for the day. It’s a town just north of here about 30 minutes. Pretty fancy and its home to UC San Diego and the Scripps Institute for Oceanography. We had breakfast at a place overlooking the beach.



The view from our table. You can’t really see them but surfers were in the water. I waited for our food while Ally and Becky went down to the beach for some photographs. We let Ally use Instagram this week and she is very into posing for pictures. We found a list of great places to take photos in San Diego and the Scripps Pier is one.











After a delicious meal Ally wanted some more pictures 








I read that Dr. Suess lived in LaJolla and he took inspiration from many of the trees here for his books. I have to admit many did look like his work.


LaJolla has a series of murals as public art and we walked around and saw many and did a little shopping. There was even a florist called Adelaide’s!

At one mural.

And another



Seals!!! Many seals and sea lions make their home on the rock formations around the coastline of LaJolla. It was really neat to walk the coastal park and see so many.



Ally checking out the water. She was afraid a wave would get her.










It was a huge hit with all of us.


I got really splashed.

We watched this seal try so hard to get up on the rocks. Ally and I felt bad for it. 




Looking back to where we walked out to the point.
