Happy Leap Year!

How was your February?

Mine was pretty grand. 

I participated in Instagram's photo a day. 

And I must say I enjoyed it, but I am definitely taking the next month off.

I made my first trip across country to San Diego. 

Check out that blog down below.

I turned TWENTY FIVE on the way home.

Had a nice little BWW birthday dinner at the airport.

I was greeted by sweet little Lu when I got back. Sure did miss her.

I had a wonderful family birthday dinner.

How cute is that cake?

I worked some.

And miss priss worked on her makeup skills...bottom right picture. 

Overall, it was a pretty good month. 

What made it even better?

 IS COMING TO TUSCALOOSA 

ON APRIL 26th. OMG.

Who is excited? This girl?!?!

every little thing

Valentine's at Prado

I'll be honest... I don't really care that much for Valentine's day. I think it is a bit overrated. Shouldn't we show the people we love how much we love them, EVERY SINGLE DAY? Why of course we should. But, in San Diego I did have a very lovely Valentine's day. Everyday was fun, and we had some wonderful food. You've seen the first two pictures but I'll show you just one more time.

We ate at Prado

in Balboa Park... How pretty was this?

I started the night with a pomegranate margarita. Very tasty.

I wasn't a fan of the starter, therefore I won't put the picture up. haha. I am sure it was good, just not for this picky eater. But here was my entree. Steak, garlic pureed potatoes, and green beans...DELICIOUS.

and my chocolate mousse bar for dessert. YUMMY. I could have eaten this all night.

I would definitely recommend Prado for all of those visiting the San Diego area. 

Hope your weekend was fabulous!!

Sunny San Diego

We made it to the hotel late Saturday night.

We didn't have anything planned for Sunday, so we thought we would try Legoland. Little did we know it wasn't made for people over the age of 10. But we managed to have a good time and even rode a little roller coaster.

The best part was no doubt the octopus. So cool

Oh, here was the handy Rogue. She took us on every Uturn and every missed exit, but we surely made it to our destinations... Eventually. (I'm a terrible map quest)

The next trip will definitely be to this place!

Sunday night we just ordered room service. We had two big dinners ahead of us!

After a day of shopping on Monday we had a delish lunch at Hooters. Sure, I eat here often at home but we couldn't pass it up.

Monday night we had dinner at Baci Ristorante! IT WAS SO GOOD!

We had to reschedule then ended up having to cancel our sea cave kayak tour (because of the weather) but we definitely made up for it! Tuesday we went to the San Diego safari park and zip lined. It was so pretty.

See...

Where we finished the zip lining.

How pretty was this lion?

On the safari tram.

This was our Valentine dinner at Prado. It deserves another post with all the pictures of our yummy meal!

On Wednesday we went to San Diego zoo. Holy moly, what an awesome zoo?!?

On the polar bear scale, I am the size of a 3 month cub....haha. But I think this weight is a little off. It was very generous :)

We ended Wednesday with a trip to In and Out burger. Again, this place deserves a post all its own!

San Diego wasn't as sunny as we thought it would be, and it actually rained more this week then it probably has in San Diego's existence. But we had a blast and I can't wait to travel back to California.

My week in Instagrams
