Old Town San Diego-the birthplace of California. Super accessible to
public transportation and filled with history and beautiful
architecture. I loved walking around the park and through a few of the museums as well as the shops on the surrounding streets.

Southern Makers, Montgomery, Alabama
One thing Alabama is not short on, is creative souls. Southern Makers was the first weekend of May and brought in a slew of chefs, artists, brewers, musicians and designers from across the southeast, majority being from Alabama. Proceeds from the event went to E.A.T. South, a really cool local charity which uses urban farms to promote principles of food justice through education and sustainable farming.
A few favorite artists included:

Weekend Reading
Last weekend, the Southern Makers event was held in the Union Station Train Shed in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. The event was full of southern artists, musicians, chefs and brewers, majority being from Alabama. I absolutely loved it! This was the third year for the event, but my first time attending. It was great to see such a large turn out for this creative event. Since then, I have been on a creative kick, working on calligraphy and new recipes.

San Diego Beaches
On a recent trip to San Diego, California, I took the opportunity to explore a few of the local beaches. Pacific Beach had a great boardwalk filled with shops, bars, restaurants and bike rentals. There were so many people forming a quite diverse crowd. We walked south down the beach from there and it seemed to get more family friendly as we got closer to Mission Beach. Mission Beach, as I understand it, is known for being pretty touristy. But with Belmont Park, a small amusement park overlooking the beach, of course its going to attract people. After exploring a few shops, we rode the roller coaster, which was a lot of fun!
Each of the beaches we visited were lovely, and came with some of the largest seagulls I have ever seen. However, my absolute favorite beach, was north of San Diego in the village of La Jolla. La Jolla is home to adorable shops and restaurants, and best of all a bunch of seals. We spotted so many birds (gulls, cormorants, and pelicans), beautiful views and seals. I really could have spent a full day on trail and beaches around La Jolla. It is definitely a must see for your San Diego travels.
