Friday Night Happy Hour!

Ryan told us awhile ago about this place that we "had to go to" because it is incredible...A hole in the wall place.  Once we find someplace we like, we stick to it...We become loyal customers.  Well we LOVE this place.  We have been going once a week for the happy hour.  We like happy hour, because it is so much cheaper.  So here is our little adventure we had on Friday night ~






We sit in the back garden leaning against cushions.  The air is a little humid...around 75 degrees...Perfect!



Their Sangria is AMAZING!!!  Although, you either love it or hate it...Ryan, Erin, and I love it.  Ken hates it.  It is sweet with a hint of cinnamon and lots of yummy berries in it.  The bread is amazing and the pesto you use to dip it in...Oh my!  I do enjoy obeying the verse about having a little wine for your frequent ailments...:)!







Ryan insists that the Calamari is the best ever!  We haven't tried it yet because we love the Maui tacos.  The sauce is incredible.  Ken orders two, I order one...I love to eat the bread!






Here is the front of this little hole in the wall.  If you are ever in North County San Diego, give it a try.  The waitresses have been there for years and love working there.





We park a mile away and walk along the ocean to get there.  This is the path we take down to the beach.  The tide was getting high so it was an adventure trying to get back without getting our shoes wet...but so fun!









I always try to point to Scripture in my posts.  We saw this walking back...the earth giving way.  This isn't an uncommon sight where we live.  I think it is better to build your home upon a solid foundation.... Just as it is to build your life upon the solid Rock that will never be moved.  Hallelujah!  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!






This is the view as we are climbing the steps back to our car....Yes, I know we are spoiled...




I know you like to see a picture of my grand baby.  She is so precious!  I can hardly stand it...Look at those beautiful blue eyes...







Here are my kitties.  They are precious.  I have to keep them locked up in the little garage a lot, however, because the little one has pee peed on my couch a few times.  So I caught her once and sprayed her with a squirt bottle. She jumped two feet up in the air and high tailed back to the little garage.  She hasn't done it recently so hopefully she learned her lesson....Any tips would be greatly appreciated because she is a sweet little thing!

 



Oh...here is Gilroy, our mean, I mean, not so nice cat! Anyone need a cat???








Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 
I Timothy 5:23

He is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

You are a litlle spoiled but deserve every pleasure in your life
Looks like such an awesome date night!!
If there is a particular place the kitty likes to pee (like on your couch) you can line that area with foil. Cats are scared of foil and won't step on it. We actually put some sheet of foil on the seats of our couches every night before we go to bed so the cats and dogs won't sleep on them and it works wonderfully! It's not terribly attractive but it sure beats scrubbing cat pee out of your couch! And you'll probably find that you don't have to do it for the long term...she will likely change her habits once she realizes the couch is a no-go anymore. Hope that helps!
Lori, Gilroy needs a new home. It is not going to work. (been there, done that!) I also would try a roll of bubble wrap. Lay some across your couch when you are gone, they will not touch it. She will get the idea then that she shouldn't be on the couch unless you are there.

It has worked... Hope it can for
A little wine for frequent ailments? I like the sounds of that! This place looks great. Too bad I'm in the wrong state. Stopping by from Super Stalker Sunday. :)
Sounds like a fun time. we are like that too; once we find a great restaurant we are loyal and always go back! :)
What a beautiful area you live in! I love holes-in-the wall--by far our most favorite places! Will enjoy being a new follower, stopped by via Super Stalker Sunday. :)

The food looks amazing! Maybe your little cat doesn't like the litter that you are using? Try a different brand with a different texture or scent. Sometimes the cause is the litter box itself as some cats prefer an open tray as opposed to an enclosed one.
Very nice pictures. I wish I had an awesome happy hour to walk to. Jealous!!
oh love the walk along the beach too! i just b roke my ankle so none of that for me for a bit

looks like a great place!
Now that looks like a most enjoyable time- and your grand baby is so adorable
Love your "hole in the wall" date night and the walk to and back. So enjoy how you weave scripture into your posts. Your grandbaby is precious. Is she your first? I too live near the beach but across the country, here on the Gulf Coast of FL. HE has given so much beauty in this world we are all spoiled in one way or the other. Enjoy your views and those walks. Blessings on your week.

Holes in the wall places are sometimes the best , we have a few of those
I loved this post, Lori. It fits so well with the Simple Pleasures theme. Dining with friends, at a hole-in-the-wall with great drinks and food ... that's what makes life so sweet.

The Man and I have been on a West Coast tour for the past month. Lord willing, San Diego is our next destination. I will remember your recommendation.
