A couple of weeks ago, I planed a short two night getaway for our family. On Father’s Day we drove down to Oceanside Beach, which is just north of San Diego. First, we picked up lunch at Mr. Bibi. We each ordered our own bowl, but in retrospect, sharing three bowls would have been a better idea.
You choose a base (rice, noodles, salad, etc.) and a protein (chicken, beef, pork). Then there are a bunch of toppings to choose from:
- Kale
- Carrots
- Corn
- Jalapenos
- Cucumber
- Pineapples
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Cheese
- Kimchi
- Bean Sprouts
- Eggs (Served Sunny Side Up)
- Spinach
- Mushroom
As you can see, they are not all traditional Korean ingredients, but I had all of them, and it made for an interesting bowl. My noodles and pork bowl ended up being a little too saucy, but it was still good!
We were able to stay socially distant on the sand. There were also a lot of people fishing from the pier.
Later in the afternoon we checked into our AirBnB tiny house rental in nearby Vista.
I have yet to watch any of the Tiny House shows on television, but I have always been fascinated by them. This one is in the owner’s backyard, but it had a nice private separate entrance.
Look at those stairs to the loft (with a queen bed)! It would not be safe for younger kids, but our kids loved it up there.
This is the second “bedroom”.
Small, but complete kitchen. (The coffee maker and coffee was much appreciated).
Loved the stylish bathroom. The shower was nice and hot and had good water pressure.
For dinner, we ordered take-out from Taverna Mediterranean Cuisine.
We ordered two gyros and a chicken salad. The gyros were absolutely packed with meat and quite filling. We were unable to finish our chicken salad so we kept it in the refrigerator.
After dinner, we took a walk around the neighborhood.
At night we stayed in and had a mini Diners, Drive-Ins and Dines marathon. Not too exciting, but it was nice to have a change in scenery after being in our own house for so long.

Oh, what fun to stay in one of those. I have seen the show and like the end result. But they are too small for me.
Yes, it was fun for a couple of days, but I like my “stuff” too much to make it work full-time.
