Eating our way through So. California...One family's story.






























6 People, 8 days. We sampled from some of Southern California's finest (ahem) places to eat. We had tortillas warm off a street cart, BBQ to die for (no really! to.die.for. good), fish taco's (my one request for heaven--must*serve*fish*tacos!), round cupcakes (quite simply the BEST cupcakes we have EVER tasted!--we found them in a unique little bakery hidden away behind a plant nursery. divine. simply divine.), square cupcakes (these were ranked as #1 in San Diego--we thought "not so much"--not much taste, although they had a cute square shape), we also had pizza at our favorite pizza joint. among other things.



Even though some of us are on a "no sugar" kick--we did let these people splurge with a "pick of their choice" while on vacation. It's only fair, right? And Lizzie the "no sugar queen" actually opted for sugar free choices in Old Town San Diego at their snazzy candy store. Grace went whole hog there with a fat slice of fudge. And mostly Josh, who can, just kept eating anything that was placed in front of him. And all the things the rest of us couldn't finish. And anything extra that people around us left lying around. And...he was still hungry. Oh, to be a 16 year old boy.



One of my favorite parts of vacationing to a new spot is trying food at places we don't find at home. What's the point of eating at the same places, right? Our last night in Oceanside, we had Mexican at a local joint. Kyle and Josh were in heaven. Of all food, that is their favorite. (Me? I would probably pick that last on my list--unless you count Cafe Rio salad, which you probably don't if you are a true connoisseur of Mexican cuisine--)


There it is. That's our story. And we're stickin' to it.
