Weekend in Encinitas











This weekend we went to Encinitas, Berkley Hart had a show Saturday night which we have seen already twice, called "O Berkley Where Hart Thou?" It is a great show with music and fun, and it just seems to get better every time.


Marvin and I stayed in a great little Bed & Breakfast called Moonlight Inn. We were upgraded to a suite, it had a queen bed and a single bed, and a full bath with tub and shower. We had a nice view of the waterfall from our room and we fell sleep with the sound of water running, very tranquil. The beds were super comfortable, and in the morning they served a wonderful breakfast of freshly baked croissants, eggs, yogurt and a plate of fresh fruit, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes and honeydew. Yummy.


On arrival to the B&B and after resting for a while, we went out for lunch to a funky restaurant called "El Callejon", Marvin had cochinita pibil, and I had chicken tacos with guacamole. After lunch, we put the top down in the SSR and cruised down the coast to Del Mar. It was such a lovely day, the sky and the ocean were deep blue, the temperature was about 75 degrees, gorgeous day.



The show started at 8:00 and we left the Inn to meet Jennifer, my friend from school. We got to the venue and Lizzie was there to welcome us. Jeff's mother and step dad were also there from Florida, also Jeff's grandfather. We had good second row seats and met a few of the performing artists. They all told us how wonderful Lizzie is, as if we didn't know that already :) She did a great job or organizing and getting things ready.


The show was great, Dakota Berkley and Miranda Hart sang with their respective fathers who couldn't be prouder, they did a nice job. We sang along to a couple of songs, and the grand finale had us all standing up singing "You are my Sunshine". Everybody enjoyed the show very much.


On Sunday, Marvin and I drove to San Diego via La Jolla, again with the top down, and visited with Lizzie for a while. She was a little tired because she stayed up cleaning after the show was over. Soon after we went back home.


It was a very enjoyable weekend.
