St. Patrick's Day Parade

Thanks to the recommendation from my godmother Joanne, I ventured to San Diego's St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday. It was on the outskirts of downtown. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was quite diverse. It was a mix between a St. Patrick's Day Parade and an excuse for a car show. I didn't run into any drunk people which was surprising. What kind of Irish do these people think they are? I didn't drink, but I had enough trouble finding my way home anyway, so in that regard I was still kinda Irish ;)



































This parade even had a mini horse, all the parade was missing was Rob and Big.










Nothing reminds me of Ireland more than O'Corvettes.
































I don't think I've seen this many DeLoreans in a row at Pittsburgh's Vintage Grand Prix.















This live band float was pretty cool.




















And last, but not least:
You know you're in So. Cal. when this is the tail section of the parade. LMAO.












Check out the Steeler purse/bag I got in a special St. Patty's Day package from Joanne!
JEALOUS? You should be ;)


This is why I call her fairy godmother. THANK YOU JOANNE!!!

Solana Beach

After Cardiff by Sea, I stopped by Solana Beach, another up-scale neighborhood. Off the beach, there is an entire stretch of town filled with interior design stores and businesses. But, I only stopped on the beach side on this trip :)



A cool commuter train station on my walk to the beach.


I like this kind of architecture. It reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Cardiff by Sea

Last Sunday, I met up with some coworkers for lunch at a nice Thai place. It was great because it was one of those hidden places that I wouldn't have found on my own. After lunch, I drove up 101 Pacific Coast Highway to visit some other beaches. Here are some pics of a small up-scale community called Cardiff by Sea.







Believe it or not, all these little black dots in the ocean are actually surfers waiting for waves. This is by far the most surfers I've seen at one time in the water.




My favorite pic.
