I could spend all day in there. But I love sharks and marine life in general. I think it's $15 for adults and $10 for kids. It's a self guided tour and they have staff around to answer questions (and guard the pirana tank... I got the guy to put his finger in there!). They have different types of fish, and some other animals. It's amazing. And of course sharks. Lots of sharks. No Great Whites (the only one that was in captivity recently was in Monterey Bay and she was just released) but I think theres a Mako or 2 and some other pretty big sharks.

May I also recommend the champaign brunch at the Belliago if you are there on a Sunday, and the seafood buffet at the Rio if you like seafood. And I'm partial to the Coyote Ugly for dancing. :cute:

Have fun!

mmmmmmmm, Balboa Park, I'm going there this afternoon actually. One of my classes has an assignment where I have to visit an art musuem and write about a piece of art. Damn the bad luck. I'm a member of the Musuem of Art in Balboa Park, so this is a breeze assignment, just gives me an excuse to visit my favorite musuem, like I need one.

In the Seaport village area, you can visit and take a tour of the USS Midway as well. Then hop on over to The Fish Market next to the Midway for a fabulous lunch or dinner. My parents took one of the SD Bay tours when they came out to visit me, and said it was a good time, got to see the navy piers and a pretty up close look of the ships. Didn't excite me too much, I was in the navy at the time and saw the ships up close all the time, but may be worth looking into.

What a coincidence! This Texan born, Los Angeles bred girlie is in the middle of packin' her stuff and movin' to San Diego!

In fact, the only reason I'm online is because I'm at my brother's pad. My DSL was cut on Monday evening.

I love the city, although I'm a beach bunny at heart.

My stay in San Diego, however, will be temporary. I'm thinking I would like to make the OC my home.

San Diego is lots of fun, and so pretty! The shopping is pretty fantastic fabulous, too! I just love how friendy the people are.

Enjoy! Have a wonderful time!

Wait wait.. you know if we live in the same city and dont meet, there's hell to pay, yes?

(You do not have kids, right? So we cant hang while kids do kid stuff... We'll have to work around that)

I'm feeling too old for the "little" part of the dress right now. I will go with my longer black dress, I was actually married in it!
Most of my clothes are black also. So I decided to make it easier on myself and just wear black the whole time except for a few accents.
The hardest part is planning to be in two different climates in 10 days! Capri pants for Vegas and sweaters for Montreal I guess. Let alone now I'm planning this next trip!!

I guess we'll have to have margaritas somewhere other than Casa Vega...

Oh, we're still having maggies (no salt on mine!) at Casa Vega! I love Los Angeles, and I'll still be visiting a whole bunch!

Of course, we can also have them in Anaheim, Sandy Eggo, and hey! Mexico! Authentic, and next door to me!

The Giant Dipper at Belmont Park is a fun wooden roller coaster, definitely one of my favorite spots in San Diego - especially when you convince the scared first timer next to you that if they don't hang on, they'll fly across the street and land in the Jack In The Box parking lot...
