Family reunion in La Jolla - great times !
"We stayed a week at the VRBO in La Jolla. We were there for our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. There were 12 people of all ages staying at the house. The hot tub was our favorite. Especially after coming in from the beach which is right across the street!"
