Date-Aversary at the Brigantine in Del Mar
We were looking for someplace fun to celebrate our Sixth Date-aversary. That’s the sixth anniversary of our first date, and it happened to fall on a warm Saturday night. We are huge oyster fans, and The Brigantine Seafood and Oyster Bar in Del Mar had been on our bucket list[…]

Neahkahnie Mountain: It’s a Thing
Let’s take the Traveling Wine Glasses on a new adventure! I have no idea where we are going or what surprise(s) Andy has in mind. We cruise to Cannon Beach knowing full well we won’t get a parking spot, but hope we can stop for snacks and a bathroom break.[…]

Going Veggie at Plumeria Encinitas
I have to admit that we were a bit apprehensive about going to a totally vegetarian restaurant. We’re omnivorous and all, but meat, seafood, cheese, and decadent desserts are more our style. But we have accepted this challenge (to eat up and down Hwy 101), so we can’t break the[…]

Getty Center Getaway: A Cultural Peak
Into each life, a little culture must fall. Well, should anyway. When you live near a city like Los Angeles, “culture” shouts from every corner. But we’re talking capital-C Culture, as in the Getty Center. It’s a perfect Day Two of a visit to LA. Often when we attend events[…]
