We're headed to San Diego for a week of fun in the sun and finally seeing the California coast for ourselves!

We knew we weren't all-inclusive honeymooners from the beginning. We love trying new things (food! we want to try it all!) and wanted to focus on super fun and bonding activities for our honeymoon. Honestly, we also just love cooking so much, a whole week of eating hotel food would be too long! We've booked a stay at a few cozy Airbnbs around the San Diego/Encinitas area that are close to the beach with bikes, walkable shops, bars and restaurants.

Theme park + cute animals = happiness

If you know Chris or Eileen you know we're animal lovers! We. can't. WAIT. to see one of the best zoos in the world.

Stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling La Jolla Cove and Cave, sea kayaking... Seems like a grand way to explore the California coast!

With all the stress of the wedding (an out-of-state wedding, at that) and the travel involved, we'd welcome a chance to unwind.

We hope to get up to Laguna Beach for an afternoon to catch a gorgeous sunset and see what all the fuss is about.

Ever since Eileen spent two weeks in Costa Rica learning to surf, she's been itching to get back and show Chris how incredible it is!
