San Diego, California | Summer 2016

We are currently sitting in a hotel room instead of being home in Miami. Yep, it happened to us… we missed our flight! We completely forgot that it was a holiday weekend and that the airport was going to be packed, and long story short, we didn’t get on the plane. Now we are staying in a hotel by the airport because there were no flights out of Phoenix today. So plans change, things happen, but we are making the best of it and enjoying looking over these photos from our trip to San Diego, California last week.

We’ve been away from home for 10 days, well, 11 days now and the first stop on our trip to the West Coast was San Diego. We had heard that the city was beautiful and that it had great weather, but it surpassed our expectations completely! San Diego has perfect weather, and I mean perfect! Little humidity, a constant breeze, and temperatures in the 70s and 80s all day long. Compared to Miami’s humidity and heat, this was heaven. Not only was the weather perfect, but the scenery there is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. From mountains, to oceans, to everything in between, San Diego is absolutely breath-taking! We were in absolute awe of the beauty around us and we are so glad we were able to experience it! Here are some photos from our recent adventures in San Diego!

We climbed 3 miles up and 3 miles down Cowel Mountain. It was exhausting but so rewarding when we got to the top!
