Last Day

So this is the last day of what will always be known as the most epic road trip ever! I'd like to say Par and I took it easy with the food and touring, but that wouldn't really be our style...we champed through the whole day!

Blue Sky:
We started the morning with coffee, scones, and waffles! Although the waffles were pretty terrible, the scone was amazing! and the coffee wasn't half bad. The cute part about this stop is the mom and pop owned coffee house. When Par and I walked in there was a knitting club chilling in the siting area. Everything in the restaurant is gluten free and organic-and amazing! (again, save for the waffles which were still frozen and terrible).

Ritz Carlton: 
Then I took Par to this hotel! We didn't eat, or even stay long, but I just wanted to show here this awesome hotel! Unfortunately it was pretty crummy weather, but this pictures shows the best view with the best possible weather!

Ok, this was my highlight-not sure if it's Par's but I know it's up there. This place was recommended by my dad and he pushed for me to sit at the bar-it was also featured on Diners Drive in and Dives! Par chatted with the bartender, told him of our mission (to eat everything in the world) and he brought us out his favorite dish at the restaurant-chili and artichoke soup COMBINED! It was epic. We then moved to the pie....I don't even know what it was called or what kind of hybrid berry was used, but it was seriously incredible. I will take everyone I know to this place....

We spent the better half of the afternoon shopping around Main Street and playing with all the fun stores! We chilled at the Wine Shop off Main Street, tasted some pretty good wine and cheese, and bought a ton of stuff. Then we popped on over to the bread mecca off Main Street-Moonside Bakery!

Flying Fish: 
We ate grilled shrimp tacos. They were delicious, but Par decided the lobster tacos in San Diego were the best!

My dad ended up making Cioppino later for his birthday-and it was delicious!

Later that evening I drove Par to the airport. It was so sad to see her go considering what a wonderful time we had, but I'm pretty sure she's just as ready to be home as I was. It was an incredible trip and there is no doubt she and I will vacation again! (and eat our weight in food!)
