La Jolla is a beautiful little area along the Pacific Ocean in northern San Diego. The University of California, San Diego is located here and let me tell you, it is gorgeous! La Jolla had the highest home prices in the nation in 2008 and 2009. The average price of a standard 4 bedroom home was $1.8 million in 2008 and $2.1 in 2009. La Jolla has tons of cute little restaurants and boutiques.
This beach is called the Children's Pool. It was once a popular swimming area for children until the seals and sea lions moved in. Now, there is quite the interesting battle going on. The beach is open to the public and there are no rules that prevent citizens from enjoying the beach, however, once you step an inch over a this man-made line, a very vocal activist group will shout at you "step away from the seals." But once you get past this group, you will see signs saying "Donated to 'Save the Seals?' You just got suckered." Apparently there is no proof that the money they are raking in each day from the tourists are actually going to any nonprofit.
Ha, so long story short, this is a very interesting beach!
Don't worry, I didn't get too close! The benefit of a zoom lens. :)
Eric and I just stood here listening to the waves come in. So powerful, yet peaceful. I miss that noise.
How cute is this place?
California streets. You can't beat them.
This was our view from lunch. FROM LUNCH! Greatest lunch view of my life. If you ever make it to La Jolla, you MUST eat at George's. Wish we could have been there for a sunset. Can you imagine how many photos I would have taken?
