Kimpton Hotel, La Jolla CA
https://www.hotellajolla.com
Dogs are allowed at La Jolla Shores beach outside the hours of 9am to 4pm (winter hours Nov 1st thru Mar 31st) and outside 9am to 6pm otherwise. Confirmed by Kimpton Hotels. This is a redux visit after our March 2014 trek  [ photoset ] , this time for 4 days and 3 nights.
Day 1 - Sunday November 23rd, 2014
FitBit totals = 5.29 miles, 80 AEG (8 floors)
On the road by 8am and stopped for an early lunch at the Yuma Burger King. Arrived at our "dog friendly" base-camp at the La Jolla Shores Kimpton Hotel https://www.hotellajolla.com (I'm becoming partial to this eclectic collection of hotels, a nice alternative to my global business choice of Marriott Hotels...). This is a nice alternative to our usual La Jolla "base-camp" at the historic Grande Colonial Hotel [ photo ] and https://www.thegrandecolonial.com After checking into room 908 and enjoying some of the ocean views from our hotel room balcony, we decided to take in the setting sun from our balcony view...
Day 2 - Monday November 24th, 2014
FitBit totals = 5.50 miles, 40 AEG (4 floors)
Lynn went for a dawn jog along La Jolla Shores Beach while I took the dogs. Headed over to La Jolla Village and Cove waterfront and poked around the tide pools with low tide peaking at about 3:30pm. Sundown/evening walk along La Jolla Shores Beach...
Day 3 - Tuesday November 25th, 2014
FitBit totals = 5.67 miles, 80 AEG (8 floors)
Lynn went for another dawn jog along La Jolla Shores Beach. I met up with Navin Govind, CEO of Aventyn, at the local Starbucks for a lunch time discussion https://www.aventyn.com Burger King run to the Mission Beach district followed by a stroll along the Mission Beach walk/bike way. Waited until "dog time on beach" (that would be 4pm) to take in the sunset along La Jolla Shores Beach. Must have seen about half a dozen pro photographers out taking portraits of clients in the golden hour while using the surf and Scripps Pier as backdrop.
Day 4 - Wednesday November 26th, 2014
FitBit totals = 4.15 miles, 120 AEG (12 floors)
Lynn went for another daybreak run along the waterfront. Took advantage of the noon-time check out before taking a scenic route back via Anza-Borrego Springs.

Interesting views of the Imperial Valley and distant Salton Sea from this trail as it follows a ridgeline. Dropped by the ABDSP Head Quarters in Borrego Springs gathering some beta for a future trek…
