Cowles Mountain Trailhead

Hannah’s weekly trail with Atlas—best visited at sunset for cooler temps and beautiful golden light.

Del Mar Dog Beach

Atlas's favorite beach.

La Jolla Cove

Love the ocean? Try open-water swimming alongside sea lions and dolphins, snorkeling, scuba diving, or surfing. Stroll The Coastal Walk, relax at Ellen Browning Scripps Park (Atlas’s old stomping grounds), and check out 1024 Coast Blvd South—the very first place we called home after moving from Chicago.

La Jolla Shores

Perfect for easygoing surfing and spotting dolphins along the shore.

Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market

Wednesdays from 9:30am to 1:30pm Saturdays from 8:00am to 2:00pm

Milk Oolong Pottery

Where Hannah teaches wheel-throwing classes and workshops.

Morning Glory

Must-Try: Souffle Pancakes with all the extras. Make reservations. Their Instagram handle is @pancakelordsd

North Fortuna Mountain Summit Trail

Hannah’s Favorite Ultra Training Trail Besides Anza-Borrego/Cuyamaca Desert, this Hannah's go-to for hill training. This trail offers a challenging route with steep climbs and minimal shade—perfect for experienced hikers or trail runners. Bring plenty of water for both during your adventure and post-adventure. If you plan to explore around dawn or dusk, borrow a bike bell at the trailhead to safely alert wildlife of your presence. RWGF+49 San Diego, California

Performance Archery

Ben's archery training range. Outdoor archery is available at Balboa Park's Archery Range (sunrise to sunset).

Plumeria Vegetarian Restaurant

Hannah’s Favorite: Tom Yum with tofu, paired with fresh spring rolls Ben’s Favorite: Spicy basil vegetable rice with chicken

Point Loma Tide Pools

The best season for tide pooling is late fall through winter. Year-round, Cabrillo National Monument offers sweeping views of San Diego and makes a perfect bike ride turnaround—or a fun starting point for road runs along the San Diego Half Marathon course (hello, mostly downhill miles).

San Diego Zoo

If you’re visiting more than once a year, a membership is the way to go.

Seneca Trattoria

Rooftop Italian dining with ocean views - go at sunset.

Sunset Cliffs

Tacos Minali

Our go-to tacos in SD. Open until 11pm for late-night cravings, plus Atlas gets an extra walk. Truly a win-win.

Torrey Pines Gliderport

Hannah's favorite sky activity. RSVP.

Warwick's

Our favorite local bookstore.

Yoga Deck

Pop Pie Co. / Stella Jean's

A favorite stop for Hannah’s bike crew—this is a two-stop must. Start at Pop Pie for their roasted veggies and yellow curry pie, plus the kale salad. Then go next door to Stella Jean’s for their creative seasonal ice cream flavors. The brown butter pecan and baklava cheesecake alone might be worth the plane ticket to CA.
