A San Diego Thanksgiving

Lizzie thought it would be a good idea to spend Thanksgiving in San Diego, I wholeheartedly agreed!
We left the night of Nov 21, and had a good drive, Lulu enjoyed it as well. It was a little cloudy and rain was announced for  Thanksgiving day. I was sad because we were booked at a very nice Restaurant called Island Prime C Level, in Harbor Island

The morning was cool and cloudy, but it got better as the day went by. In the morning we walked downtown and stopped at Bub's for drinks and chicken tenders. There were a lot of people milling around, many walking their dogs, and it was very nice.

By the time we were getting ready to go to dinner it seemed like it wouldn't rain! yay! We  called a Lyft  and went to the Restaurant. We were there a little before sunset because I wanted to see it, however it was cloudy and we didn't see it, however we had the greatest view of downtown San Diego. That really made my day, it was gorgeous!


The meal was delicious, we chose from the Thanksgiving Menu. I had a glass of Cava and they brought us some great popovers,


 then butternut squash soup with creme fraiche, and my main course, rib steak with bordelaise sauce, mashed potatoes with butter, sea salt and scallions, caramelized onions and green beans. My dessert was pecan pie with raspberry coulis and caramelized orange. It was great!



The moon was full and after sunset the lights in San Diego were beautiful , a truly magnificent view .





Afterwards we went back home and rested a while, then we took Lulu for a walk downtown, and stopped at the bar of Pendry Hotel for drinks.


It was a great Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow I will write about going to Julian and meeting friends
