THE LEI LOUNGE


You must go!

Go for dinner or one of their
signature cocktails, you won't be disappointed!

They have cabanas for parties of six or more, we were a party of three and sat at a middle table under the stars & torches. 

Sister's night out was Saturday, we headed south to San Diego this time so Kara didn't have to drive so far.....her recommendation was the Lei Lounge.  She had been before and felt it was the ideal place to spend a late July night in San Diego.  She was 100% correct! 

We shared three different entrees along with an appetizer of edamame's.  We were pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it was to dine here with healthier choices....another reason to love the Lei Lounge!

Waiting for our next entree to arrive......
will it be the Mahi Mahi taco's or the bruchetta?

OK sisters, this is for you......remember heckling me when we stumbled upon this stone fence and I wanted you to take my photo?  I just knew it had to be the original stone fence for San Diego's first public garden.....I remember hearing about in on PBS.

I was correct, don't be shocked....I am known to be right on occasion.  It was in fact, the entrance to the original Mission Cliff Gardens!  I surprise myself on what my brain retains!    The stone fence I am standing in front of is all that remains of the Mission Cliff Gardens...dates back to the 1880's. 

Mission Cliff Gardens was located on the canyon rim overlooking Mission Valley, north of Adams Avenue extending from Florida Street west to the end of Adams Avenue. The main entrance was at the end of Park Boulevard. A rock fence, which still remains, extended from the entrance two blocks west to the end of Adams Avenue. East of the entrance was a tall wooden fence enclosing the popular Ostrich Farm. The fence adjoined the rear wall of the car barns, the resting place for San Diego's trolley cars.

Where weight is critical, North Face Jackets For Women down is the best choice, For shorter trips or car camping, polyester is suitable, whilst for bivouacing or snowholing where your bag is likely to get damp, pile is worth considering. Whatever the fill, Moncler Sale sleeping bags come in various weights with season or temperature ratings. Be warned, these are guidelines only. Cold sleepers may need an extra 'season' to ensure a warm night, whilst warm ones may be able to get away with a lighter bag than that suggested for the time of year. You can of course 'stretch' the warmth of a bag by wearing clothes in it, Belstaff Leather using a sleeping bag liner, and all sleeping bags will perform better if used with an insulating mat underneath. Sleeping bags are manufactured by most of the top outdoor manufacturers including: Snugpak, Cumulus Sleeping Bags, Belstaff Womens Jackets Mountain Equipment, RAB and The North Face
