[It IS a jewel]
Mar. 31st, 2020 09:12 amMy parents and I went for a drive to La Jolla.I had forgotten how pretty of a drive that is, and how many nooks and crannies there are to La Jolla.It’s definitely one of the old money hubs in the San Diego area(the others are Coronado and Rancho Santa Fe.
Especially Coronado.Whenever we go to the Hotel Del to look at the Christmas tree(though we didn’t do so last year)there is a wait for the weekend brunch.Said brunch is $100(for adults anyways, I don’t know about kids)That is NOT cheap but hey, old money, and plus, even though they have money to spare, it’s their one extravagance for the year. Would not be my first choice-I’d go to someplace like Mr. A’s that has a view(from what I know though-at one point they did NOT have the prices on their menus.A friend’s dad went there and was told that if he had to ask how much everything is, he couldn’t afford it.The cheek!
At Christmas Coronado gets all decorated up and it’s fun to drive around and see all of the houses(there are some niiiice houses on Coronado.The last time we were there we drove around and wound up at the gates of the Naval station.We didn’t get any closer,though.
When I was a kid(and an adult, too) I thought going over the Coronado bridge was the most thrilling thing ever.It’s pretty high, so you can see how I would have thought that was really scary.Also,as you’re going over the bridge(and coming back, looking towards downtown San Diego)there is an amazing view.One of my favourite views ever.
