My sister and I had a wonderful time in San Diego for a chunk of her spring break. I booked us into the Hotel Del Coronado for an historic stay on the island. The views from our room at the Del's beach village were magnificent, encompassing the pool, hot tub and waves beyond. Even on a partly cloudy first day, the scenery was still a sight to behold.
As expected, the sunsets were glorious. We didn't partake of a beach bonfire with s'mores because that isn't our thing. But we did enjoy strolling right out of our digs to the paved walkway for some people watching in the late afternoon. Then every morning we'd spy an ongoing parade of folks out jogging or walking, often with dogs in tow. I'd probably exercise more, too, if I could enjoy these sorts of beach views while working up a sweat. We got a giggle out of the fact that the street name where the beach village is located is Dana, my sister's name. So we had to take a pic of her and the street sign because we're nerds.
That first evening we ended up with ringside, nosy old lady seats to a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour from our vantage point in the adjacent restaurant club where we dined. As in we could hear the ceremony, string quartet and even snippets of conversation while getting a gander at folks all dressed up for the event. So much fun, y'all. Below is a hasty pic I snapped of the ceremony site as guests were being seated. That flower arch was big, and so beautiful. We could seriously smell the flowers from our al fresco table where we ate supper. Though we were tempted to be wedding crashers just to get a look at the ballroom for their reception, our travel clothes just wouldn't pass muster with that gussied up crowd.
