Sandcastles & Surf Shops on Coronado Beach

After several days of travel shooting around Los Angeles, I continued my journey around Southern California and met up with my friend Brandie in San Diego. We explored Hotel del Coronado and Balboa Park, and also spent a good amount of time on Coronado Beach. 

We wandered through a few surf shops, found the ultimate gourmet grilled cheese and tomato soup, and I bought some beach toys - because really, what's a trip to the beach without building a few sandcastles and branding it with your name? We got rained out later that afternoon, but returned the next day and were rewarded with a postcard worthy California sunset.
