In the ever crowded field of no-calorie soda - there is a new entrant - Coke Zero. I figured what the heck, give it a shot ... it's zero carbs ... zero calories ... and $.50 for a 20oz attempt - an introductory offer at most grocery stores.
At first taste, I thought I was drinking regular coke. It was sweet, with that carbonated bite to it. It was a lovely floral boquet with a slight hint of oak, berries, and something I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I think it was chocolate -- wait ... this is my Coke Zero review ... oops.
Seriously tho, aren't there enough diet drinks with diet coke and lime, lemon, grapefruit, and kiwi, diet pepsi with all those things, pepsi one, diet rite, diet RC, diet 7up, sprite zero, and the whole host of store brands, rootbeers, fruity things. It's a veritable cornicopia of flavors. Where does Coke Zero fit in ... well ... I think it's up there as one of my new favorites. At least this week.

Coastal drive
From June 25th to July 2nd we took a very relaxing trip to La Jolla, CA. Heidi's mom and dad rented a gorgeous house right on the "beach". The reason that beach is in quotes, is that we were really on a bit of a cliff or bluff, with the beach being just below the bluff. It was an incredible sunset every evening as the glowing orange ball dipped below the horizon.
The first day we were there we ventured down to the rocky shore and looked around at all the tide pools full of crabs, anemone, and mussels. The cool breeze from the ocean and the rythmic pounding of the surf against the rocks was just what the doctor ordered.
Chloe enjoyed the ocean this trip, and she had a great time running out into the water as the waves came in, jumping into my arms just as she was about to be tripped up. Paige was a super beach sleeper ... I think the sound of the waves was very soothing and relaxing for her.
We were so very happy to spend time with our famliy. It was an incredible setting for relaxation and reflection. Life seemed just a bit slower, more comfortable. We were also lucky to have had a visit from Heidi's cousin Amanda and her husband John who live in Chula Vista.
A trip to Sea World was in order and it was a LONG, but very exciting and fun day. Both girls were amazing troopers since we left the house around 9am and didn't get home until 8:30pm ... and we were only 10 min from Sea World. I was exhausted the next day ... and just happened to get sick! Ugh ... so the ride home on Saturday Heidi had to drive ... thanks bubba!
