Things To Do
San Diego Zoo
World known zoo located in America's finest city.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
Hit this spot for a sunset thats better than any east coast sunset you've ever seen. (avoid cloudy days)
Seaport Village
Personally, this is one of our favorite spots to walk around, go for a run, shop and eat. Beautiful views of the harbor just blocks from the Gaslamp District.
La Jolla Cove
Upscale beach scene with plenty of shopping and dining. You MUST meet the sea lions that sunbathe along the cliffs and if you love adventure make sure to book your kayak cave tour and scuba diving in advance!
Belmont Park
Cute little oceanfront amusement park in Mission Beach. More shopping, dining and views.
Torrey Pines State Reserve
Easy coastal hiking with gorgeous ocean views.
USS Midway Museum
Never been on a Navy ship? Check out this de-commissioned air craft carrier turned into a museum. This ship is huge but is an older class and smaller version of the type of ship Pat works on every day. Located in downtown San Diego close to Seaport Village, Gaslamp etc.

Catch a Padres game here and then grab drinks afterwards at some of the surrounding East Village or Gaslamp bars.
