No. 9 Old Town Temecula/Birch Aquarium

This post and the next one are part of a day-long adventure, but I thought I would split the day up into two parts. Our main reason for going to La Jolla was for the secret swings by UCSD, but we made a few stops along the way. I had Old Town Temecula on my list, so we took the 15 down and stopped there. As soon as we got into town, we felt like we had made it into the Wild, Wild West! Wood shops decorated each side and wooden planks paved the sidewalks. We stopped into the Swing Inn Cafe, one of the oldest buildings, and both ordered the Ortega Chile french dip. If it wasn't so late in the day and we didn't have anywhere else we needed to be, the three of us would have probably strolled along the one street road, popping into all the unique shops. 

After leaving Temecula and driving a bit more, we ended up at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. Weslie loves sea life and was especially excited to see a few "Nemos" and "Dorys" swimming around there. They have man made tide pools outside where you can poke the anemones, and get a great view of La Jolla Cove. Next time we go, I would definitely get there in time to watch one of their feeding shows!

Check back tomorrow, to read about our secret tree swing adventure!
