my favorite place in the world…so far…
i love la jolla. i was born and raised in san diego, california. most weekends…sundays after church, if we were “good girls,”…were spent at la jolla shores. my parents would lay out and sun themselves. my sister and i would swim in the ocean for hours…riding waves into shore on our boogie board. my mother would pack a great picnic lunch…either roast beef sandwiches and homemade potato salad…or shaved ham sandwiches and homemade potato cheese soup. it was always such a treat to sit on the 70′s colored bedspread…bright yellow and burnt orange flowers…in the warm sand…savoring every delicious bite of our picnic lunch.
Some of the places that made la jolla so dear to me include:
the birch aquarium at scripps institute of oceanography, http://www.aquarium.ucsd.edu/
the museum of contemporary art san diego, http://www.mcasd.org/
the sunny jim cave store, http://www.cavestore.com/
