KD's birthday lunch @ Supannee House of Thai

Although KD's real birthday was in early January, we, the Educator GF's (TORC, myself and D) celebrated it last weekend...

They were gracious enough to let me choose the venues (plural) for this birthday food crawl...

Carlsbad Danish Bakery

[Update - Closed.  As of 11/2015, the bakery is now known as "C'est La Vie, The Cake 'n Quiche Company"]

One the last Friday of my vacation, Bert was able to get the day off so he could spent it with us...

We would be meeting up with Superman for lunch up north in his neck of the woods...

However, we left early enough to grab a few bites at the Carlsbad Danish Bakery...

Super Twist and more from Mary's Donuts

Yesterday I met up with Cathy in her neck of the woods...

The choice of meeting place was convenient for her but also served a purpose for me...

Lunch with Mary at Ariana Produce and Cuisine

A few weeks ago, TC and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mary during her lunch break...

We went to Ariana Produce, a middle eastern market located in this Mira Mesa strip mall...

Holy Gelato!

A few blocks down from Peasant Pies and around the corner was a gelato place I looked up online...

We still had some room for some gelato, believe it or not...

Peasant Pies

We were digging all of the different places we saw on Irving Street, but it was this place that was specifically sought out...

We wanted something small and snacky and not a huge meal to tide us over until the wedding...

Scenes from Irving Street, Inner Sunset

After checking out the murals at the Beach Chalet at the Golden Gate Park Visitor's Center, we headed east towards the Inner Sunset...

We drove on Lincoln St, which is parallel to the bottom of Golden Gate Park. Here are the gates...

My fears of crappy street parking were realized as we drove past block after block of filled streets...

Spencer's Fresh Market, Cayucos beach, dinner & dessert + a sunset in San Simeon

We headed south on the 1 to get back to our motel in Cayucos, but first passed by these establishments in Morro Bay...

Gotta love those names! Lolo is the Filipino word for "grandfather" but I'm sure that wasn't their intent.  I liked how regal Taco Temple sounded.

We wanted to pick up just a few things some salad for dinner later that evening as well as picnic provisions for the next couple of days...

Snapshots from Morro Bay's main drag plus Morro Rock

As we walked down Embarcadero St. in Morro Bay, I couldn't help but think of how old some of these places were...

You could tell that the fonts were on the 'groovy side'...

Crills II & the Morro Bay Skateboard Museum

Picking up where I left off for our Summer Road Trip Day 2 posts from the Central Coast...

We just had a seagull free lunch at Giovanni's Fish Market and Galley and wanted to explore more of this quaint seaside town known as...

Yet more changes at Asia Cafe

TC and I were out and about one day and had a craving for Laotian food...

This could only mean one thing...
