  • San Diego – Brewery Day Trip

    San Diego – Brewery Day Trip

    Good Morning friends! I have been meaning to post this FOREVER! Literally. For Robert’s 29th birthday, we decided to take a little day trip down to San Diego to do a little beer tasting at a few breweries that he was interested in. We woke up super early Saturday morning (March 2, 2019) and drove to San Diego.

    First Stop: Green Flash Brewing Co.

    We made it just in time to snag a spot on the brewery tour. At the start of the tour, they gave us a taste of their special beer they were promoting that weekend. During the tour we learned about how they make all the beers in house and the process that each one goes through.

    After the tour, we grabbed a drink and then decided to head out to our second spot as it was getting a little crowded. They had a large selection of beers and I felt like they had something for everyone’s tastes. I’m not a huge beer fan, but they had something that even I enjoyed. I believe Robert got the Hoppy Birthday and I got the Passion Fruit Kicker.

    Second Stop: Saint Archer Brewing

    This was my favorite stop hands down. We chose to do two flights instead of just one regular drink. In my flight, I got: Razzleberry, Peach, Sour IPA, and Chocolate Strawberry Stout. The Razzleberry was my favorite as it reminded me of a cider (my favorite drinks). I ended up getting a case to go and am super bummed that I finished them over the summer. We didn’t stay here very long as it was raining so all of their outdoor seating was unavailable and they didn’t have a ton of indoor seating.

    Third Stop: Iron Fist Brewing Company

    UPDATE: They have permanently closed their doors due to COVID.

    This stop was not what we were expecting; it was in more of a shopping center and had apartments above it. I think the location was fairly new when we went.

    Fourth Stop: Mission Brewery

    It was closer to dinner time by the time we got here and were getting pretty hungry so we only grabbed one drink each before leaving for dinner. I liked the options at this brewery and liked that they had the option to purchase a sampler size (the small glass in the picture). They had games that you could play and gave off more of a bar vibe.

    Dinner: BarleyMash

    Robert had been here before while on a Bachelor Trip in San Diego but this was my first time. It was all delicious! I would definitely go back. The restaurant is located in the Gaslamp District, so it’s super close to all the bars and nightlife. If we had planned better, we should have stayed the night so we didn’t have to drive the two hours home.

    These are all places I would recommend stopping at if you are ever in the SD area. If you are not planning on traveling anytime soon, definitely bookmark this and save it for later. If you do plan on heading to SD, I would call ahead to make sure they’re open and to see what they’re COVID protocol is! If you have any questions feel free to let me know and I’ll do my best to answer!

    XOXO

  • Summer Swimsuits

    Summer Swimsuits

    I know most of us are still under the Safer at Home orders, but the weather has been soooo nice this past weekend. With the weather heating up, I figured why not show y’all some of the swimsuits I’ve ordered in the hopes that I get to wear them sometime soon. I buy all my swimsuits in size Small, both top and bottoms!

    Right now American Eagle/Aerie is having a More Shopping = More Savings sale with code SOMUCHMORE. PLUS they’re having Buy 1 get 1 free all bikini tops & bottoms! There are sooo many great swimsuits out there right now, but I picked my top 8 (I have 5 out of the 8 shown):

    Target: Crochet Bralette Bikini Top – $22.99 – Fully stocked

    Target: Tie-dye Ribbed Square Neck Bikini Top – $17.99 – Limited Stock. We all know tie-dye is super popular right now!

    Target: Ribbed Front Cut Out Bralette Bikini Top – $14.99 – Comes in 3 colors Fully stocked in pink, limited in blue and neon yellow. The neon yellow would look sooo good with a tan!

    Aerie: Wrap Halter Bikini Top – $34.95 I actually bought this last spring and they brought it back this season. It comes in a ton of different colors/prints! If you are in between sizes, I would recommend sizing up on this top.

    Aerie: V Space Dye Bandeau Bikini Top – $39.95 – Comes in 3 colors. I should have sized down in this top since the straps aren’t adjustable.

    Aerie: Wrap One Piece Swimsuit – On Sale for $30 (normally $49.95) – Comes in multiple colors. Super cute, could wear the tie in either the front or back.

    Aerie: Tie Back One Piece Swimsuit – On Sale for $30 (normally $49.95) – Comes in multiple colors. Love the back detailing on this one.

    Aerie: Ruffle Longline Bikini Top – $34.95 – Comes in multiple colors/patterns. This would be perfect for any brides out there (I know most of us are on hold right now, but definitely a must for later).
