California – Road trip

   
I need your help!

We are planning a road trip!

So far, it looks like we will fly into San Francisco and drive down to San Diego over 2 weeks somewhere around the July and August period in 2016

As you can see above, we got 2 books full of information! 

I only have 11 months to plan this right so please help me. 

Where should we stay?  

What do we absolutely need to see?

Where should we eat?

What are the things only locals know that we should know 😜?

We will be the 3 of us, the 3 musketeers.  

 
Remember our daughter has cri du chat syndrome so you know what this means right?  

Are you thinking limitations???

Haven’t you been reading my blog?!?!

It means that we are up for everything and anything πŸ˜‰

We can eat anywhere

We can and will laugh our butts off

We like fancy hotels and small bed and breakfast as long as we all fit in 1 room.

We can play at the beach or at the pool

We like to play tourists (zoo, museums, anything really…)

We like to pretend we are locals

So, what should we do?

Thank you for your suggestions and if you don’t know anything about California, do a girl a favor and reblog! I really need help! 

Pretty please! 

 

Our gardens

We are by no mean gardeners.

This is our second go at it.

We tried a couple of years ago and got some peas and a big mess of “not really grown” anything!

We skipped a summer as Jonathan worked overnight and we were traveling to my father’s place which meant the garden would not get the attention it needed.

This year, we are trying a limited amount of vegetables and strawberries!

We’ve had 3 really small strawberries πŸ™‚

We are trying to grow pumpkins and learned today that we might need to try and fertilize the flowers.IMG_3826IMG_3828

We have picked a handful of green and yellow beans

We are growing cherry tomatoes, red and yellow

So far, we’ve picked maybe 10 yellow cherry tomatoes and will finally get to try some of the red ones

We are hoping to grow some tomatoes that would be big enough to make a sandwich…

Our only pepper so far wasn’t really good but we still have 3 more coming!

Our only successful story is this lovely basil plant which we bought this big and managed not to kill it. Β We’ve used lots of it and it’s still growing!

And now you know why we get a weekly vegetable basket from a nearby farm!
