Welcome to Part 2! Above you will see a picture of my favorite place to hang out in Oceanside – Pierview Coffee. I can’t even tell you how many times I ended up here on my trip, but I do know that one day I visited three times – coffee in the morning, gelato at lunch, and herbal tea in the afternoon. It was just a short walk from where we were staying, so we walked down here for coffee and breakfast on several occasions. I liked it so much, I even bought a t-shirt there (you’ll see it soon).
After looking at all the beautiful gardens in California, I’ve pretty much decided that I have to plant a succulent garden. So many beautiful varieties – there were a ton that I had never seen before.

The food was pretty amazing too. These are some fish tacos from Alfredo’s in Oceanside – seriously the best fish tacos I’ve ever eaten. They were so awesome that I went back and got more two more times during the trip.
And these were the calorific Bacon Waffles I had at the Breakfast Club Diner (yes, named after that Breakfast Club). That’s crumbled bacon mixed into the batter – heavenly, although my stomach felt loaded down the rest of the day.
We also spent one day in Balboa Park in San Diego, where we saw beautiful sculptures, looked at flowers, rode a vintage carousel (I caught one of the rings!) and rode a miniature train.
All in all, it was a fantastic trip, and I hope to have many more.
