Late night snack at Doughnut Hut

We'd been here before, but only in the daytime...

I know that's a crappy photo of the Doughnut Hut, but the car was moving and it was dark...

The other day I was off work early and had some errands to do on the west side of Chula Vista...

It was that time of the year...

Rafo's Cafe

We always stay at the same hotel in Burbank, the Holiday Inn Express. It's close to the freeway and pretty affordable.  Unfortunately there are way too many chain restaurants there that I wouldn't set foot in...Most of our stays have involved us driving out for dinner. Bert had dinner destination choosing duty and he picked a good one!

That night's dinner wold be in this strip mall...

Coffee & Donuts with Astroboi @ Dark Horse & Nomad

Just a few blocks east from the Masonic lodge was Dark Horse Coffee...

where last week Bert and I tried their new fall drinks...

Ocean Cove Bar & Grill

Even though it wasn't that late, we were tired after having explored the Armstrong Redwoods followed by the Guerneville Bank Club for snacks...

Our  lodging for the night was in the seaside town of Jenner..

Silver Gate Three Star Lodge + garage sale in North Park & the soon-to-be-closed Thrift Trader in Hillcrest

We parked across this cool looking building before heading to The Mission for breakfast...

I made a mental note to find out more before we heading to our coffee destination.

Belated birthday breakfast for Astroboi @ The Mission, North Park

It's been a long six months since I last hung out with my dear friend Astroboi...

We'd gone out for my birthday back in April and were supposed to go out the following month for his...

Lette Macarons and Cafe Dulce

Across the street from the JANM "Hello Kitty" exhibit was the Japanese Village shopping complex...

Unfortunately, Mikawaya was closed, but several other places we wanted to try were open!

North Park Produce, Normal Heights

Before heading home after our craptastic coffee from Mission Hills Coffee Company...

we took the long way home and stopped by the NPP in Normal Heights (well south of it), which is on the corner of Wilson and El Cajon Blvd.
