Kevin and Nicole

My brother and his girlfriend came to visit us on Sunday. They flew into Santa Barbara in the beginning of the week and made their way down the coast to us by the end of the week.

Here is a list/photos of what we did:

1. Walked to the bay that is a block from our apartment.
2. Visited Pacific Beach and walked out on the pier (it was SOOOO windy!!).
3. Drove by my future school and our future apartment.
4. Went to Coronado, walked along the beach and checked out Hotel DEL which is an obsession of mine since Marilyn Monroe filmed Some Like It Hot there.

Marilyn Monroe was shown walking by this very tree in Some Like It Hot. SO COOL! It is a truly spectacular hotel and I really want to stay there for a night sometime. 

4. Walked through Balboa Park.

5. Went to the Marina area and looked at all the ships/Bob Hope dedication/kissing sculpture. 

6. Ate dinner at Old Town Mexican Cafe which had bad food and awesome margaritas. 

We missed out on going to Cabrillo National Monument because they closed early so we'll have to save that one for next time. 

Everyone was exhausted from our "power tour" and so we came back to the apartment and watched YouTube videos and went to sleep. Well, Drew and I slept but Nicole and Kevin had a ROUGH time sleeping on the air mattress wedged in the corner by the patio. I don't think they appreciated how hot the apartments gets at night or that motorcycles were zooming by at 2am on a Sunday night. Sorry guys :) did I mention I am excited for people to visit when we are in our new place??? Hehe!! 

Drew had to work the next morning but Kevin, Nicole and I went out for breakfast at The Menu which is right  next to our apartment. 

It is a nice change in the routine to have people come out and we had a great time bumming around with them!
