San Diego : Overview & Top 10

Blessed by a sunny climate that never varies ten degrees from moderate and a splendid setting along the Pacific Ocean, San Diegans can well boast they live the California Dream. Although non-stop outdoor recreation, a vibrant downtown, and world-class attractions keep the city’s spirit young, its heart lies in its Spanish beginnings as the birthplace of California.

Andres' Cuban Restaurant

Andres is a family-owned restaurant with great testing and very fresh meals. It is close to Old Town, north of Interstate 8, at 1235 Morena Blvd. Prices are very reasonable and the flan is fantastic!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

A place to relive childhood with their ice cream sundaes and shakes set in historic San Diego
Hotel del Coronado

Built in 1888, this classic beachfront respite has long been heralded as one of America’s most beautiful beach resorts. A pronouncement underscored by its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1977. The tide pool activity beachfront is an education in its self.

Its 28 beautiful oceanfront acres also houses a spa, two full service restaurants (1500 OCEAN or the Sheerwater) and a handful of quaint shops! However, my personal favorite Hotel Del Coronado activity is a new approach to San Diego Wine Tasting at the ENO Wine bar. Every Tuesday, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for only $10.00, ENO sommeliers offer guests the opportunity to sample 10 wines. Yummy and fun.
San Diego Zoo

Fantastic Zoo with an amazing rane of animals that all look extremely well cared for.
