Happy Anniversary... Happy Father's Day Almost... June was a busy month for me, but with all this we get to go on vacations, which we love! And I am a little bit late in posting the whole happy birthday post, but I must. For our first wedding anniversary, I always dreamed of going to Japan and eating all the great sushi and seeing all the wonderful sites, but with the babe, there would be no eating of any kind of sushi, so, no trip to Japan, just a trip to good ol' Las Vegas! We did so much walking and that was good for us, but we were so tired. For his Father's Day Almost, we just had a nice family dinner at my parents house and his parents joined along. But for his birthday, we went to San Diego! Not only did we go to San Diego, but we had a lot planned out which made it even better.  We arrived Friday night and ate at Old Town Mexican Cafe in Old Town San Diego. This place is always busy, consistent in how their food tastes, and has the best homemade tortillas ever! Every chance we get, we try to come to this restaurant. If you ever make it down to San Diego, it is a must that you pass  by and even order some tortillas to go! It was getting late, and with the babe, I was so tired we headed straight to the hotel. We stayed at The Bristol Hotel located in Downtown San Diego.

It was a modern boutique style hotel. Our room was so cute, and the bed was so comfortable. We ended the night watching The Boleyn Girl because I read all the books and hadn't watched the movie yet, which by the way, go and read the books, it was so much better. The next day was our funfilled day of fun for John's birthday. Whenever we go on vacations, he has everything planned out with where we are going and what we would be doing . No t is left uncrossed, really! This time, he wanted me to plan everything, talk about pressure! We had breakfast at The Daisy Cafe located in our hotel.

 

Really cute with great kitchen furniture. Had the typical breakfast and we were ready for our days adventure.  Our adventure was not a physically challenging adventure, more like a eating taste testing adventure. More on that later. We first went to Coronado Beach.

We both had never been there, and you have to go! The houses are all so cute and so different, not like our track home! We got so many home ideas that we would like to do to ours. It was really a beautiful little place to be. It made me want to ride my bike, but I'm scared I'll fall and hurt the baby.... John thinks I'm so weird! Next on the list was our Red Velvet Cupcake Taste Test Event. I tried so hard to research so many different places in San Diego to pick one up, but I couldn't find too many places. Cupcakes Squared Inc we tried at the Borrego Springs Wedding. Cute squared organic cupackes so they weren't red, but a way healthier dessert. Since we tried those, we thought, let's put that on the list, but try other we haven't tried. First stop, Influx Cafe. It was the cutest coffee shop I had ever seen. It was like the minimalist feel, good conversations around the room, and cupcakes waiting to be bought.

They had consistant texture, great color, yummy frosting, and topped it off with a strawberry on top. Super cute and homemade.

Next stop, The Daily Scoop. They are known for their homemade ice cream and has these huge cupcakes. They were so huge, we just shared one. These had a more traditional look to them, but were still super yummy.

The last stop was this cafe called Rebecca's Coffee House. I loved the look of this coffee house. It was huge with vintage furniture everywhere. It reminded me of the furniture my mom and dad had at our old house in Montclair, Ca. The smell of all the sandwiches were so yummy! They occasionally have cupcakes there, but we must have gone on an off day, they didn't have any! I was really sad, but ok cause I was actually getting really full from all the food. So, from the two we tried from that day, and the other one from that awesome wedding in the dessert... our favorite was.....

Great service, great cupcakes, great environment. The owner was really nice and took time out of his day to chat with us.  The overall environment was great and I hope they stay in business for a very long time. i plan on coming here every time we stop in to San Diego. The next place was a surprise for Jp. He works really hard and always asks me to massage his back or his knee that had the surgery. I'm not very good and Jp is so good to me, I wanted to suprise him by scheduling a massage at Bella Tosca Spa and Salon. He loved it way more than I had ever imagined! He totally played the part. He wore the flip-flops they provided, wore the robe, took a shower! I wish we had gone there earlier so he could enjoy the spa and sauna, but he didn't. He said he had a great deep tissue massage. Me being prego, I didn't want a massage cause I didn't want to lay on my stomach for that long. I thought I would just be uncomfortable, so I just read magazines and waited for him to finish his experience. I'm glad he had a great time. we definitely need to go back so I can give it a whirl. Last on the list was a BBQ spot I wanted John to try. Part of Top Gun was filmed here and had that old bar feel, but... no air conditioning! It was really hot, but we did it for the experience. Kansas City BBQ is the tiny building right behind the Palm Trees.

This pretty much ended our trip to San Diego, it was a pretty late lunch so we just headed back home. But alright, for those of you who were wondering how big I am now, it's really a fake shot cause John was telling me stick out my belly, but here you go! Totally fake, but I would like the new addition to get used to modeling hehe! But, this is how I look like after a full day of eating! It's crazy

 Happy Birthday husband, I hope you had a lot of fun with us...
