Sunny San Diego
California dreaming is an understatement, in 2018 I moved to one of the most beautiful cities in the US, San Diego, CA. During my time there I made sure to take advantage of the beautiful weather, beaches, and proximity to other cool destinations. I had so many great experiences which has allowed me to curate a list of my top 10 things to do or see while visiting San Diego.
Nic #1: Visit the San Diego Zoo
Nic#2: Take the ferry from the city to Coronado Island. Be sure to grab a picture of the city’s skyline on your way back
Nic #3: Cross the Mexican boarder which is only 20 minutes away or hop on a plane to Hawaii. Beware of the 3 hour time difference in Hawaii. Also, drive up the coast to Malibu to check out Malibu’s Wine Safari or book a train ride to LA for a studio tour (idk if that is still happening post covid) or hike up Runyon canyon.
Nic #4: Drive to La Jolla Cove to see the seals and dine at some swanky restaurants
Nic #5: Hike up or drive up to Mt. Solidade. You will be greeted by a cool breeze, fantastic pacific ocean view, and a WWII memorial
Nic#6: Visit Balboa Park where there are tons of Museums and outdoor recreational fun. Also, check out the USS Midway Museum, a retired Navy ship.
Nic#7: Catch a Padres baseball game at Petco stadium.
Nic#8: You’re in California, go to a weed dispensary and grab some edibles. It’s totally legal 🙂
Nic #9: Visit a brewery, you will have your pick. There are tons of breweries to choose from.
Nic #10: Go to Liberty Public, it is the Reading terminal of San Diego with plenty of bakeries, restaurants, and recreational activities including a fancy movie theater.

Loved the zoo. My neice treated me to an amazing day trip that included several of your recommendations but the zoo was an experience I waited 40+ years to check off of my bucket list.

The SD Zoo was definitely a highlight for me as well! I made sure not to take anyone else to the zoo until your visit 🙂
