Family Weekend in San Diego

Hand-san-diego-zoo

San Diego is a fun town with terrific weather for most of the year. Because it's a seaside town, the temperatures are moderate; it's generally warm and breezy, with occasional coastal fog, and cooler temperatures in the winter. It is a college town, with three major universities in the vicinity. There is plenty for a family to do in San Diego. Beautiful beaches, great restaurants and outdoor activities abound.

You can hear the ocean waves right outside your door, and if you get one of the cottages out at the end of the pier, the ocean is actually directly under you! Each cottage has its own private deck.

You can hear the ocean waves right outside your door, and if you get one of the cottages out at the end of the pier, the ocean is actually directly under you! Each cottage has its own private deck. Crystal Pier is located right in the center of Pacific Beach, so you can walk (or bike, or skate) to many great restaurants or right on down to the beach.
Sushi on the Rock is a fun and fancy place to have sushi. The atmosphere is lively. The food is outstanding, with a selection of unusual specialty sushi rolls. It's located in trendy La Jolla, where there are plenty of fine restaurants and galleries to explore.
SeaWorld is a really fun place to spend the day.
This is one of my husband's and my all-time favorite breakfast spots. It's right on the water in Pacific Beach. The food is delicious and the servings are huge. My choice has always been the South Beach Benedict, with bacon and avocado... yum! My husband's pick is the Wipe Out, which is just a ridiculous amount of food. This is a ... More >

My choice has always been the South Beach Benedict, with bacon and avocado... yum! My husband's pick is the Wipe Out, which is just a ridiculous amount of food. This is a great place for lunch or dinner, too, with spectacular views.
SeaWorld is a really fun place to spend the day. The shows are spectacular; check out the new Cirque du Soliel at the Blue Horizons show . You can get up-close and personal with the animals, and kids love the rides-- the raft is fun when it's warm out. It is an educational experience, as well as being fascinating and fun.

Pacific Beach truly has something for everyone. It is a beautiful beach with water warm enough for swimming, good surfing and excellent people-watching. There is a bike path that runs the extent of it, where people walk, run, skate, bike, and check each other out. At the south end there is a large public pool, and even a roller coaster. More
