hello friends!
sorry for my absence the past couple of days. i missed you!
my trip to san diego was wonderful, but i forgot my camera cord, so i couldn't upload my pictures. oops! but here they are now, along with some little stories about our adventures. i hope you are all having lovely weekends and i am excited to get back to my regular posts next week.

i had a lot of work meetings in cafes... which meant lots of coffee and cute surroundings. i am also secretly thrilled that my best friend is now addicted to coffee too... it's just one more thing we can do together! ha.

when i wasn't working, i didn't hesitate to put my feet up. i slept in every morning, and curled up on the couch at night. sometimes it feels good to make relaxation a priority.

one evening we ate dinner at buonissimo. it was one of the cutest restaurants i have ever been to, and the food was amazing. (and when i went to the ladies' room, my friends told our server about this blog. i blushed.)

this sweet bike was in the courtyard of the restaurant. it made me want to set up a similar display at our wedding, but it's terribly impractical. but maybe i should just do it anyway.

and finally, i saw these purple flower bushes on the ucsd campus and fell in love. does anyone know what they are called?
we also went shopping, went to ginseng yoga, laughed hysterically, played with friends (and a baby) and talked about everything and nothing. good times. :)
now, tell me all about you. what's new? what did i miss?

Great shoes!
ReplyDeletelovely memories you captured. san diego is wonderful. my sister lives there and I just visited in feb - respite from a Chicago winter. the sun was heavenly. the food too. we need more cafes in the chicago area. cute ones with those textured tables and magical lights setting the mood. paz!
ReplyDeleteyour photo's are gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteHi Nina, looks like you had a lovely trip!
ReplyDeleteI believe that flower is called "Pride of Madeira." Growing up and living in British Columbia, gardening and time in the forest have been my passions!
Have a delightful weekend!
gorgeous photos nina! that restaurant looks so charming!! san diego is one of my favorite cities.. that's so cool you got to go there for work!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these pictures!
ReplyDeletelove love love your shoes! oh, and that table display is just perfect... you could totally pull off a bike display at your wedding too :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely...everything and nothing all at once...and playing with babies! I vote yes for impractical bikes.
ReplyDeleteYes, the flower is Pride of Madeira - Echium candicans. It is pretty spectacular in flower, grows well here in Australia too due to the dry weather.
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant looks like a great place to share a meal with friends. Glad you had a nice trip. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing photos of our city! We need to try that restaurant. So glad you enjoyed yourself!
