Things To Do
Balboa Park
This is where we took our engagement photos. Take a walk in the Japanese Friendship garden, check out the botanical garden and museums, and grab a drink at Prado or Panama 66.
Hillcrest Farmers Market
Hillcrest Framers Market is a great place to walk around and spend an afternoon. Held on Sundays, from 9-2pm, you can try come locally grown produce and shop local artisans.
Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market
Little Italy is great place to walk around and experience San Diego. You'll find the 3 Fs here; Food, Fun, and Fine wine! They have a great farmer's market on Saturdays, with live music on occasion. Also check out their gelato, shopping boutiques and restaurants.
Torrey Pines State Reserve
This venture is a bit outside San Diego but worth the drive! Take the Pacific Coast Highway north for a great scenic drive to the beach and once you arrive you can spend time on the beach or hike Torrey Pines for some great views.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
The best place to watch a San Diego sunset! Bring a blanket and a bottle of wine and enjoy the cliffside ambience of Sunset Cliffs. Afterwards head to OB Noodle house on Niagara Ave for some amazing pho and peanut butter whiskey shots. Cheers!
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park
Old Town is the first Spanish settlement in San Diego, full of Mexican heritage, restaurants, shopping, and historical sites. Enjoy margaritas at Cafe Coyote (which was Jose's first job!) check out the Whaley House museum and explore the Bazaar for some great shopping.
Coronado Island
Coronado is a quick drive over the bridge or scenic boat ride away. Check out the Coronado Pier, historic Hotel Del Mar, and gorgeous beaches. Coronado Brewing Company is a great way to end the day!
