Each design is amazing in it’s own right. After looking at these, I remembered the saying “There are two great day’s in a man’s life, the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it.” I imagine most apply that mentality to the ownership of these…

This particular one is held in the parking lot of Qualcomm Stadium. 1/3 of it was automotive junk. 1/3 were incredibly restored vintage cars. And the final 1/3 was a standard swap-meet filled with “ordinary” household items. One thing I notice over most things this morning was that most of the men pulled wagons.

This particular museum stands atop the hill recognized as the site where California began. In 1769 a Spanish Franciscan missionary, Father Junípero Serra, with a group of soldiers led by Gaspar de Portolá, established Alta California’s first mission and presidio (fort). On July 16, 1769, near the site where the museum now stands, Fr. Serra founded the Mission San Diego de Alcalá.

The landscape is something out of a story book and the full grape vines seem to go on forever. To give this place even more weight, it is where Anna and I had our wedding reception. One of the fun details about the contract for having your reception here is that they send you two bottles of wine once you return from your honeymoon. We recently sent in our order … and wa-la! Just in time for Valentines day.

We typically go to Twigg’s when we do go out and we choose this coffee house because of the great aesthetics and environment as a whole. Twigg’s is a full bakery where they bake award-winning wedding cakes along with essential breakfast pastries … where breakfast pastries are one of my true weaknesses. Shoot, I look forward to any kind of breakfast. I want breakfast.

These chairs have always made me stare and I honestly can’t wait to actually own one of my own. The “dowel” leg side is the first of the three photos below and the wooden legs do a number on me. I want to fall asleep in it, on it or even around it … and dream of wonders, encouragement and creativity. “It will be mine, oh yes – It will be mine.”

In this case, Vans sent me some amazing Vault Sk8 Hi’s in a nice finished black leather. I am seriously going to wear the crap out of these all the time. Seriously, this is a good looking shoe! Thanks Vans.

This hotel looks awesome! It’s one of the first recognizable buildings each time I drive into downtown San Diego. I love how lit up it is at night and it seems so full of personality. I would love to stay there one night, just for the full experience.

Kobey’s is the local San Diego swap meet held at the Valley View Casino Center parking lot … or formally known as the Sports Arena, home of the San Diego Clippers. It’s one of the most amazing swap meets I have ever been to! Luckily, the two of us found an amazing address book (picture #1). As you select the letter of the last name that you’re looking for, the address book pops open to reveal only the people with that last name. Pure magic… and from the 60′s. #goodfind #swapmeet
