Lately on Instagram: San Diego

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a few of these photos as I was posting them, but for those of you who don't, I wanted to let you see my trip to San Diego last Thurs-Sun! I was there visiting my sister for her 24th birthday - she's been living in the Ocean Beach neighborhood for about 6 months now and I had yet to visit, so this was the perfect time. :) It was nice to get some sun and relax for a few days.

I was so proud of myself for packing light and only bringing carry-on luggage!

my rental cottage had a beautiful patio complete with gorgeous landscaping and a hot tub.

my first visit to the beach, which was only 3 blocks from my cottage, was perfect because the beach was so empty and serene!

seeing so many palm trees was a welcome change...

one day when my sister was working, she let me borrow her car and drive up to La Jolla which was definitely my favorite part of the trip! I loved the adorable city center and the coves - it was so picturesque.

I had lunch by myself at a restaurant with a patio overlooking the beach...what could be better?

in front of the La Jolla scenery...

my sister and I saw these adorable dogs while eating breakfast...they were the cutest, oddest pair of best friends I've ever seen!

even though I missed Phoebe, there was no shortage of cats for me...this stray stayed on my patio during my entire stay at the cottage and even sat in my lap while I read!

sisters having fun!

the gorgeous view and sunset from my sister's roof deck...

stay tuned for a summery outfit post next week shot in SD!
