Dec 31, along Pacific Coast Highway...

Time to drive back home, leaving San Diego and taking route 1 from Laguna beach to Oxnard

First stop, a dream comes true, one of my favorite yarn store from NYC 

and I don't have to fly to go there

I couldn't leave without some Liberty!!

Last Christmas gift of 2015

Laguna beach, post card perfect Cali town

Last sunset of 2015 from Manhattan Beach one of my favorite spot

Best New year celebration

Hope this little trip pleased you, I know I had a lot of fun

next won't be until this summer, somewhere new for me...

Dec 30, one last day in San Diego

Enjoying our last day in San Diego

Coronado bridge 

Visiting seaport village and running into new year festivity and mini marathon

Driving along the coast and having lunch in Encinitas

Then a little history

Quiet funky place to visit

One last stop in one of the best Italian area in the US

Sunset on the San Diego bay

Tomorrow is New year eve, time to go home...

Dec 29, San Diego zoo

I have been to the San Diego zoo a dozen time but still my favorite

View of the Balboa park from skyline

Panda life is exhausting but for us too, 

we had to wait in line for hours before seeing them sleeping!!

Bears are my favorites, 

always ready for a great pictures, 

enjoying life in the water and 

a little nap in the sun!!

Hi there, don't be shy!!

Not a diva at all!!

So blasé!!

Not so young any more!!

Always sleepy!!

A last tour in the bird cages

These are just a few of the pictures, there was so much to see!!

Tomorrow last day in San Diego....

Dec 28, on the road to San Diego...

Not much today as we drove most of the day from DTLA to San Diego

Mostly cloudy and light rain on the road, played with filters a lot

Enjoying Benihana meal!!

Dec 27, Sunday at the garden

Ahead on our program, I am looking to spend a fun day not too far from DTLA

A surprise was waiting for us at our return to the city, but first a cutural visit

A little gem a few miles away from DTLA

The Huntington Botanical Garden

Lots of cute things, green and desert plans, enjoy!

Famous rose garden from Pasadena rose parade

I would mind an herb garden like that in my backyard

We are back at Pitchoun sampling their great menu, simply delicious!!

A surprise was waiting for me there, a galette des rois, 

not the Parisian one but the Provencial galette 

well know and the only one for Southern French

It was delicious, I enjoyed every bite.

A true beautiful day with gorgeous sunset colours
