San Diego Tour

 I think we officially cleared off the rest of our Summer Bucket List today with our San Diego Tour. Our first stop was Corvette Diner in Point Loma.  I used to visit this place in Hillcrest when I was in college and wanted the girls to experience it.  They moved to this new location 6 years ago and we loved it!
Our server started by throwing straws at us so the girls made good use of them!
The music is so loud in here and the DJ gets the servers to dance around the restaurant, he takes customer song requests and holds contests throughout the meal.
The food was all pretty good and the milkshakes were delicious!
 I got this lovely straw hair bow since Hank told our server it was my birthday!
 Although stuffed and trying to get ready for our ice cream stop later, the girls couldn't resist this giant plate of cotton candy.  Taylor begged and said we could order it and then take it to go.
So much for a doggy bag…that thing was devoured in 5 minutes flat!
Our next stop was Sunset Cliffs.  Kevin was hoping to get a chance to jump off, but the lifeguards and SDPD were doing a detail and ticketing anyone who attempted to jump.  Maybe next time!
 Just south of Sunset Cliffs was this cool spot.  The hike down was a little to sketchy for me, but Leslie, Kevin and the girls used the rope to get down and walk along the beach for a little while.


Right above the beach is Point Loma Nazarene University.  We drove around the campus for a quick tour and Allison and Reanna ran a lap on the track.  Such a beautiful campus with one of the best views, although most of them thought Pepperdine was better after their tour last week.
We then went to Pacific Beach to do a little shopping at Brandy Melville and then finished the day with a little detour to this gem in North Park…Hammond's Ice Creamery.  This is probably the best ice cream I have ever had!  It is made it Hawaii and the flavors are so unique.  Most of us ordered Flights with 4 sample scoops so we could try several.  Allison sampled Mango Sorbet, Raspberry Fudge, Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo and Cinnamon Swirl.  
I seemed to follow a Hawaii theme and got Macadamia Nut, Kona Coffee Oreo, Kohala Road and Vanilla Chocolate Chip.  We will be visiting this place again!
