Balboa Park – Fleet Science Center

We enjoyed driving through Balboa Park to get to the San Diego Zoo, so the next afternoon, before we went to the airport to go home, we decided to go back. It’s a really nice area to walk around, and they also have a TON of museums and gardens. We could have easily spend 2-3 […]

La Jolla, California

Our last morning in La Jolla, we were able to go walk around. It’s a really nice area, and there are a few blocks that have a lot of nice stores and galleries. We were even able to visit the Peter Lik Gallery, so we were happy. Within walking distance is also the La Jolla […]

San Diego Zoo

You can’t go to San Diego, California without visiting the San Diego Zoo. It is known for being one of the best zoos in the country, so of course we went for the day. The zoo is located in Balboa Park, which it turns out is a huge area with a lot of different museums […]

SeaWorld, San Diego

SeaWorld was a really nice drive from La Jolla. It was quick and easy, and we passed some really nice areas on the way. We had a lot of fun that day, and got to see a lot of fish, penguins, dolphins, sharks, and more. While I knew it would be a fun day, I […]

Holiday Inn Express – La Jolla, California

This hotel was a real surprise – in a great way. We had stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last year, and had enjoyed it, so we expected a decent hotel. This hotel was a lot more than “decent”! The Holiday Inn Express La Jolla was really nice, and was a great surprise. To start […]

The Flower Fields – Amazing!

The Flower Fields were absolutely amazing. First let me say that they are only open for a few months out of the year – this year from March 1st through May 11th. They are less than 5 minutes from Legoland, in Carlsbad, California, so it was easy to stop there after we finished up at […]

Legoland – It’s Amazing What They Can Do with LEGOs

After we checked out of our hotel in Anaheim, we started towards San Diego. When we planned our trip, we knew that Legoland was on the way, and loved the idea of seeing all of the amazing LEGO creations…so we bought 2 tickets (actually, we technically got them for free…see how we did it.) It […]

Griffith Observatory

We really wanted to visit Griffith Observatory to see the Planetarium, and their exhibits. We had heard there was a nice view as well, but weren’t sure exactly what to expect. When we got there, we were really happy with the view! We got some great pictures of the Hollywood sign, as well as just […]
