Farmers Market and Old Friends

Downtown, Little Italy is known for their farmers market every week. We had a free morning and decided to check it out. We were thankful we decided to take the trolley last minute because we completely forgot it was Comic-Con weekend. Downtown was much busier than usual and parking was impossible. We actually had to let one trolley go and wait for the next one because of how packed it was.


We made it, and it was an impressive farmers market. But it was also so crowded!

We walked the whole main strip, picked up a few things and started making our way back out.

There was a beautiful view of the water though when walking back down the street.

Eric's good friend from college, Matt, also happened to be in town from Colorado for work for only one night. After work we all hit the beach and were there pretty much until the sun set!

He's a long time friend of Benny's who also was in our wedding. Everyone is so spread out around the country these days, it was great to get to spend some time with him.

His travel buddy from work even came to meet us at the beach and get dinner.

Later that night we walked over to Belmont Park (a historic oceanfront amusement park). It was such a blast, we need to take advantage of coming here again. They just have a ton of old fair games and rides.


The guys won a couple little basketballs, we all went on the wooden roller coaster together, and then Benny wished the rest of us luck as we ended the night with this ride that basically swings you back and forth, upside down, and around in circles.


We stayed up well past our normal bedtime, and I think Eric was pretty exhausted at work the next day, but we both agreed it was well worth it. We had a great time with great friends!
