Sergio's Birthday - La Jolla

I took Sergio to beautiful La Jolla for his birthday.

Relaxation was the goal and I think we were successful. It helped to stay at the fancy pants Estancia Hotel and Spa. We went on a gorgeous hike down to Black's Beach, had massages and generally just hung out.

Birthday boy getting his chillax on. Untitled Great hike, epic views at Black's Beach, La Jolla. #latergram Loved the architecture @salkinstitute #latergram Big brains solving big problems deserve a view like this. I guess. @salkinstitue #latergram Pineapple mousse/coconut cake dessert to enjoy in bed. They decorated the takeout box!

We won't be doing any major traveling any time soon, but I really want to try squeezing in these little getaways before baby arrives. Luckily California is one amazing state with endless undiscovered places. Half of me wants to avoid the lure of old favorites and the other half wants to slip them on like an old, cozy cardigan. We'll see.
