09-Aug-09 USA Trip - Day 7

A lazy day - got up later than yesterday, popped downstairs for coffee and cookies to help us wake up. Breakfast today was apple & cinnamon strada with crispy crunchy bacon on the side (Jimmy really likes cinnamon - a lot).

We had reserved today for a practice run at driving to the county clerk's office and then on to the Taylor factory. We managed it all without getting lost once - thanks to GPS sat nav for getting us there and to Google Maps for ensuring we knew what things should look like. Then we drove back to La Jolla, had more coffee and cookies... then drove back again to El Cajon so we'd be fully rehearsed for the marriage licence appointment on Monday and the wedding on Wednesday...

Eeeek! It's all happening - these places really do exist - bricks and mortar, not just images on the screen.

Needless to say we took photos of the outside of the Taylor factory... and there'll be lots to see inside tomorrow when we have a pre-wedding visit. Back at La Jolla, after the wine and cheese session in the garden, we had an evening stroll around the shops - purple seems to be coming into fashion again, although none of the designs really caught our eyes. We had a nice Mexican meal at Alfonso's (highly recommended by guests and also local guide publications), and then wandered down to the cove where we wached seals swimming and lazing on the rocks, barking and snorting to each other. The beach path was littered with people, even after sunset there were lots of people out walking and swimming and fishing and watching the waves... it was very much a fun, family and friends atmosphere.

Although it was only 09:30 pm by the time we got back to the B&B, we were both whacked... so, after a brief sojourn into cyberspace to check emails and messages, we turned in for an early night.

37 photos today.
