Discover San Diego

Spruce Street Footbridge

As you've probably guessed by now, I love old houses. The older the better. Living in San Diego has given me ample opportunity to admire many that are 100+ years old. My mom and I took the kids to do this "self-guided" tour of Banker's Hill on friday. About 1.5 miles of easy walking, beautiful footbridges across canyons and gorgeous houses. 


Banker's Hill is also home to my favorite dessert and coffee place, Extraordinary Desserts. Here's two other local favorites that are on my list to try. Cucina Urbana and Barrio Star. 


I'll just dream about getting my hands on one of these old places and decorating the snot out of it. (sorry about that visual, but it fits)

yummy

john and i had our first anniversary weekend here in san diego eleven years ago, and we visited this awesome restaurant

every time i came back to san diego in the past ten years, i came for a dessert and coffee

now that we are here, it's my favorite treat place

my sister and i have been here twice in the two days she's been here...raspberry/strawberry coffee cake and apple tart with fresh whipped cream...plus an incredible americano

my tastebuds are so happy (scale, not so much!)
