Balboa Park, San Diego

Alora & Mitchell

While You're Here

Here are a few ideas about things to do while you're in the area.
San Diego Zoo

San Diego Zoo

2920 Zoo Drive, San Diego, CA 92101

The wedding will take place right next to the zoo; hopefully, the pandas are still there in October.

The San Diego Museum of Art

The San Diego Museum of Art

1450 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92102

This museum and the surrounding areas are a great place to wander around—the Japanese Friendship Gardens are located in the same park.

Mission Beach Boardwalk

Mission Beach Boardwalk

West Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109

One of our first dates. Mitchell has a dedicated rollerblading outfit, and Alora has fantastic pictures (available upon request).

Gaslamp Quarter

Gaslamp Quarter

614 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101

An infamous area in downtown San Diego. We've gotten incredibly lost walking to multiple destinations, and it's always a fun time.

Village Plaza

Village Plaza

945-1065 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Carlsbad was the first place we shared a home, and we spent plenty of time exploring the downtown. The Plaza is a solid place to park before setting off on foot.

Agua Hedionda Lagoon

Agua Hedionda Lagoon

Lagoon Place, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Many shenanigans took place in, on, and around this lagoon. Great place to bring a paddle board and forget to pack a life jacket for any half-Filipino coworkers with a phobia of water.
