I do not even know where to begin on San Diego, CA. There are many things to do, and many places to see. Below are some of the places I visited, and I will give a brief summary about each. Enjoy!

San Diego Zoo – This zoo makes you feel like you are in Jurassic World! It is huge! They make the environment as natural as they can. They even have a bird cage where you can walk into, and different kinds of birds are flying around you. The Orangutans were hilarious! One of them was eating a leaf, and rolling around the ground at the same time! They have cute little Koala bears. The Koala bear section has a lot of information about a Koala’s life. I went on a  Skyfari Aerial Tram which takes you from the back of the zoo to the front. And if you want to have some extra fun they sell margaritas! I would definitely plan a whole day or two at the zoo (2 days if you have kids). The best part? You get to see pandas!!!

Old Town San Diego – This was one of my favorite places in SD! It looks like…you guessed it…an old town! It is extremely rich in Mexican culture. There are beautiful shops with amazing items to buy. They sell Mexican sugar skulls for Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), Mexican candy, pottery, hats, and much more. A mariachi band named Divinas (all woman group) played music from 8:30 – 9 p.m. It was very entertaining. Towards the end people got up to dance! We ate at “El Patio De Oldtown”, the food was great! I am Mexican, I know a good taco when I taste it! I ordered flautas and my boyfriend ordered tacos. Both meals were mouthwatering. By the way, the tortillas are handmade! All the waiters/waitresses are dressed like we were in the past. They have a live guitar player. Also, there is a haunted house you can visit in Old Town! The list of activities are endless.

Mission Bay – If you love adventure this is the place for you. There are people everywhere! Lots of surfing and bike shops. They have a small well known amusement park called Belmont Park. Admission is free at Belmont. You pay per ride if you decide to get on one. I got on the Giant Dipper, and it was so much fun (it was built in 1925!) ! They have zip lining, bikes, henna tattoos, paddling surf boards, canoeing, and games. Mission Bay beach is absolutely stunning. Get there early to get a good spot!

La Jolla Cove – La Jolla was very scenic with nice beaches. There are high fashion shops and restaurants which, you can walk around and explore. It is hard to find parking, make sure you are there early.  You can either set up a canopy at a beach, or on the grass area. We went to the Children’s beach. Behind the beach there was construction going on, but other than that it was nice.  Also, a baby seal swam by! It was amazing to see! As I was walking around La Jolla I came across some rocks, and on those rocks there were seals! There were about ten seals sleeping. Be careful when you step on those rocks, because there will be seal poop and pee! They also sneeze so try not to get to close! I almost got sprayed!

Seaport Village – This place is at the top of my list! We got there early, therefore parking was easy to find. There are many different tours you can take. You can take a bus/boat ride in Seaport Village called, “San Diego Seal Tours by Land & Sea Adventures”. It sells out by 1 p.m., it is best to buy tickets early. I did not get on it, but it did look extremely fun! Instead we walked around, and came across a bike carriage. We did a 30 minute tour on the bike carriage. I enjoyed it, because the guy gave us fun historical facts. I am not a seafood fanatic, but if you are this is the place to be! They have a fish market on Saturday mornings. Also, there is a navy base which you can pay for a tour in one of the navy ships. Near the base they have a statue of a navy man kissing a girl called "Unconditional Surrender". The story behind the statute is that after the war a navy man jumped out of the ship, and kissed the first girl he saw. Someone was able to snap a picture of it, which was then made into a statute.

Balboa Park –This incredible Park is the definition of date night. There is a big beautiful pond with nice fishes (coming from a person that does not like fish), there are small museums you can explore, caricature artists, a flower garden, a fine dining restaurant, and much more. There were a few photo shoots going on while I was there! That should tell you how beautiful it is!

Coronado – I did not get to explore Coronado much. But from what I saw it was beautiful, and had plenty of entertainment. You can get to Coronado by ferry or by driving. We drove over a large bridge. There was an area with bars, and restaurants playing music. We walked near the ocean, and got to see the beautiful San Diego Skyline. This would be a perfect ending to a date night!
