Lockwood Table
I am just now finding time to sit and look through all the pictures I've taken over the last few months. Summer is still happening for us since P's preschool doesn't start until the first week of September. We've been so happily busy with playing around the house, me keeping up with my work responsibilities and trying to squeeze in some fun down time on the weekends with Sean.
I had wanted to share this restaurant with you when we were still in San Diego this summer but of course, time gets away. But, if ever you find yourself in Solana Beach on Cedros and your stomach is rumbling. Please do yourself a favor and check out Lockwood Table. It's sort of hidden in the back of one of the shopping outlets toward the south part of the street but it's darling and I really enjoyed the food. Service hopefully will work itself out a bit better but it was simple hearty locally sourced food that felt very fancy and easy at the same time.
I had noticed on our visit that they used some pretty chic hard plastic outdoor glassware that I luckily found at Crate and Barrel Outlet at the Carlsbad Outlet Mall - I picked up 14 of them and have been using them ever since.
Another cute touch there was the table water presented in sleek glass with white bottle stopper that I have since found at Ikea here in Phoenix - got one of those now - and have used to store our watermelon juice supply that we make with all the huge sweet watermelon from Crooked Sky.
I can't remember exactly what we ordered, but the kids and I shared the above hummus plate with roasted red peppers and bread, and the pressed turkey sandwich with lentil salad. Simple and satisfying. Photo by Moi.
Oh, and if you have time, the Solo and Bixby and Ball shops are so fun to shuffle through. Great ideas to steal for your home.

Balboa Park
If you are in need of a play place for the kids (old and young) and have no where else to go...go to Balboa Park. We always love the carousel and walking the park. My dad has been riding this same carousel since he was a kid more then 50 years ago.
The Arts and Crafts area is another favorite. Every where you turn it's something magical.
It's a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz but more of a rainbow brick road.

San Diego Trip: Part One
I'm finally getting around to posting some of my pictures from the delicously long vacation in San Diego this summer.
We've been back a week after being gone for a month and I'm still playing catch up on tidying the house and backyard and we'll get there...but I'm not back to speed yet.
I'm looking forward to visiting Frank at the farm tomorrow to get caught up there but I'm hoping we can escape the heat in one of the trailers with A/C since it's been stinking muggy hot here and my little ones don't like being out in it too long without a dunk in some water. The farm is swimming in dirt. Maybe we'll grab a cold drink on the way home.
Back to the vaca...I loved our once or twice daily cruises along the 101.
I loved being able to to visit my favorite coffee spot in the world (I haven't been to many) - the Leucadia Pannikin. I met my dear friend Jenny for mochas (pictured above) and we noticed around the corner there was a sign offering art camp out of someone's home - that's so Leucadia. Love it there.
I will be sharing more about my trip as I'm able to steal away some time from my mommying, Chow Bella blogging and Crooked Sky Farming. It's a full schedule but I'm intending to tend to this blog a bit more as school approaches and I can give it the love and attention it deserves.
