WEEKEND IN SAN DIEGO _ WHAT SD IS LIKE IN COVID _ FRIENDS, FOOD, EXPLORING BEACHES
**Sunday Morning Routine**
It's Sunday morning and I'm getting ready for the day ahead. It's about 10:30 am, and we're supposed to leave at 11:30 am. I'm wearing a tube top with sleeves and black Levi high-waisted shorts, feeling pretty put together despite not having enough time to get dressed yesterday. My friend and I are supposed to meet up later today, but for now, it's just us. We're planning to go to breakfast, then head out to the beach or do some shopping and bar-hopping in the area.
**The Beach Day**
We ended up going to Coronado, which was stunningly beautiful. The hotel we stayed at used to be the world's largest hotel, and it still has that old-time classic charm. We spent some time walking around, trying to find a cool bar we'd found online, but unfortunately, they didn't have outside seating and were closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. We ended up driving back and assumed there would be a lot of Ubers and Lyft rides available before the service shutdown, but it was actually the opposite - it took us over an hour on five different phones to get a ride that should have taken 17 minutes.
**The Ride Home**
Luckily, my friend Alexis lives just a block and a half from our hotel, so she drove us back. It's convenient having her live nearby, and we're excited to spend more time together this weekend. We're planning to head downtown and get an early dinner at one of the local restaurants. We'll probably explore the Gaslamp Quarter area and see what kind of deals we can find.
**The Fashion**
I'm wearing a tube top with sleeves and black Levi high-waisted shorts, feeling pretty stylish despite not having time to do my hair or makeup today. I've decided to keep it simple and just showered instead of redoing my look for the day ahead. My friend Alexis is getting ready at her place, which makes it even easier to see each other.
**Monday Morning**
As we wait to leave for the airport in 20 minutes, I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now that I've finally made it back home after our long ride. It's been a big weekend, but I'm excited to share all of my experiences with you through this vlog series.

then they said okay no problem um we know that this property you can't use we have another property in san diego we have eight people they give us this three bedroom place but most importantly there's no ac and it's like 95 degrees in san diego which is pretty unheard of it was going to be a major problem so we weren't able to stay there so then we had to find somewhere else so then we've been

mascara with me i just did my mascara outside and as soon as the uber gets here because we were doing an xl uber they are one seat short because they won't let anyone sit in the front so now darren and i have to get our own uber there so um turns out could have gotten ready but that's okay we'll make the most of it so we're getting brunch in the gaslamp district i think this is called the gaslamp food company or something like that super cute area though and all of this uh outdoor seating we have like a 40 minute wait though oh my god look who we found do i have a face no oh this lighting's a little better this is this is how i gotta do it like that i'm actually not sure what that is we just got back to the hotel um i showered got my pjs and we're playing games so my friend just went home showered and now she's on her way back so i'm going to pick her up can we talk about the fashion involved here fashion baby fashion good morning okay so it is sunday morning it is about 10 30. um we got all ready we're supposed to leave at 11 30. um here's what i'm wearing so um tube top with the sleeves and i'm wearing my uh black levi high waisted shorts um yeah we're supposed to be leaving in like 30 minutes but no one in the other room has responded to our text messages so i don't even know if they're awake so i don't know but yesterday i didn't have enough time to get ready today apparently i'm ready like apparently an hour in advance our um plans for today we're gonna go to breakfast and then most of the people are leaving it's gonna be us and two other people um and we're gonna go to the beach uh maybe do some shopping bar hopping things like that kind of see what there is around here we'll see where the day takes us so we needed to pack up the burrito instead we packed the napkin and forgot the burrito because this really is a wide beach it's like a hike to get to the water hello where's the lighting better okay better this way okay so um we just got back from coronado we hung out on the beach we went to a hotel del rey and it was so pretty i guess um it used to be the world's largest hotel um obviously a long time ago but it's absolutely stunning beautiful like old time classic charm and then we walked around we tried to find this cool bar that we found online but turns out they don't have outside seating so they're completely closed because of corona so we ended up driving back and i don't know if you guys have heard but apparently coronavir or not chronovirus i'm sorry um uber and lyft are no longer able to function in california after thursday because of some legal things i think it's like prop 22 or something like that so until it goes back up for um voting in november i guess they're closing this coming thursday so we kind of assumed that there would be a ton of like ubers and lifts because everyone would be wanting to get you know their final rides in and get as much money as possible before it closes down but it's actually like the exact opposite it took like over an hour on five different phones people trying to request uber and lyft to get someone and then a ride that should have been 17 it kept repricing repricing and it was 97 it's crazy crazy out here so luckily um yesterday alexis because again she lives here um she was like a block and a half from where we're staying so it's super convenient so she ended up just driving us but yeah it's it's crazy up here but anyways we just got back from coronado um we showered obviously i just did a body shower not redoing my hair makeup nope not happening takes too long so that's that um we are going to go downtown where we're like two blocks from like the gas lamp gas light gas lamp gasoline district um so we're gonna go down there and just kind of get like an early um dinner because i think it's like 4 30 right now so yeah early dinner and then maybe kind of explore a little more and such so yeah i'm pretty excited we're gonna have a good time um alexis walked home the block and a half and she's getting ready there and then she's just gonna meet us back here so it is so convenient when we did get this hotel we did not realize how close it was to her so um it is just such a delight because i'm seeing her so much i've seen her more this past week than i have the last like two years so i'm just cloud nine over there cloud freaking 9.
