Coasterra - Family Dinner in Harbor Island!

Last Saturday we had a family dinner and went to the restaurant "Coasterra" located in Harbor Island! The restaurant is so nice! It is directly at (or almost on) the ocean and you can enjoy a beautiful view of the San Diego Downtown Skyline.

The food is super special and delicious! They have Mexican dishes served in a very unique way. Even if you don't wannt to have lunch or dinner - go to this restaurant and have a Coconut Margarita outside on their sunny terrace.


Indoor S K Y D I V I N G !

I never thought, that I would EVER do this: My cousins and me went to an indoor skydiving place in San Diego - it's called "iFly" and the place is awesome! The instructors were super friendly and we had a fun time flying in the tunnel.

If you ever have an opportunity to do this (and you're not afraid of heights) DO IT! Trust me, you'll love it.

Potato Chip Rock!

Yesterday me and a good friend went hiking in Poway (near San Diego). The hike itself is not too long (a bit more than 1 hour to get on the top) but it is pretty steep to walk all the way up to the mountain peek of Mount Woodson.
During the hike, we unexpectedly found several Yucca plants!!

Even though the hike might be a little challenging because of the sun and the incline, the beautiful view all over San Diego and of course to stand on the famous "Potato Chip Rock" is worth all the effort!

Indian Sunsets

This evening we had a beauuuuutiful sunset - I looked out of the window and as soon as I saw these bright colors, I grabbed my camera and ran out in the garden to take some pictures.

Nature is just amazing!!!

At the moment, I'm busy with organizing and planning some trips which I'm doing soon. This includes searching for hotels, looking up flights and reading travel guides for many hours - but I love it!

California Ballet!

So last Saturday I went to see the Ballet "Romeo and Juliet" at the Balboa Theatre with my wonderful cousin and her family - ballet has always been something fascinating to me and it was an amazing experience to finally see a ballet performance live!


Indian Cooking Class!

What an awesome experience - I had the opportunity to join a cooking class at the Indian Reservation about the "Yucca" plant! The Indian tribe "Kumeyaay" used this plant for many different dishes and I am still amazed how delicious it is! 

The Yucca plant grows here in the reservation almost everywhere . The plant is huge (up to 5 meters!) and its flowers are beautiful.

 I'm so happy that I had a chance to get to know this special plant.

Beautiful Day!

Spent a wonderful day with my lovely cousins! And the milkshakes were delicious.

Look at that breathtaking sunset at the Indian Reservation.

Everyday Life

Drive thru Starbucks, lunch by the sea, Mexican food and shoe shopping - what else should I ask for?
