California Adventure - San Diego

We drove along the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu (so very beautiful!) and on into LA traffic, eventually arriving in San Diego. We stayed in San Diego at the Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla for 4 nights. Our time in San Diego was highlighted by hiking Torrey Pines State Park, exploring the San Diego Zoo, visiting with our good friends, the Gilberts, who were staying at the Hotel Del Coronado, and spending time with our fabulous friend Brooke who flew from San Francisco to see us! Another highlight for Eloise was witnessing a real live animal rescue at Seal Beach in La Jolla - they captured a young sea lion who was injured by an alarmingly large fish hook.
