You have a place with animals, and a place with fish they tell me ?

LOL Well, yes we do!

There is, of course, Sea World. And, Stephen Birch Aquarium {I believe that is what it is called, previously Scripps, or vice versa}.

The San Diego Zoo is awesome and it is close to Downtown where there could be a lunch/dinner meet....

What is it you guys want to see around here?

Do you really want the answer to that ??


Oh !! Things to see... sorry, now I've got you.

Amusement parks, natural wonders and friendly locals are all good.

We also want to be blatant tourists and visit Mexico for a day.

Oh, did I mention bars ?

Hee hee, now, I wouldn't quite be able to help ya there...

Bars...bars...bars...what part of town are you staying at? We definitely have bars. What type of music are you into? Different radio stations have days that they are at certain clubs, that can be fun.

Amusement parks? Hmm. Belmont Park? There are bars around there, too.

Natural wonders? It all depends, again, on where you are staying and how much time you would like to spend cruising around. But actually I don't know of natural wonders, just old places. Old Town, Julian, Balboa Park {directly next to the Zoo}. Aren't you vegetarian? Or no? There are some restaurants nearby the zoo/Hillcrest area. Or, the other way into the Gaslamp area. Buca de Beppo's downtown would be a great place for a meet.

I love seeing tourists in town. Coronado is a pretty place to see the sunset, but, so it La Jolla. Just depends on what cha want. :0)

Up to you. Your vacation. You deal the cards, dude.

And at night the Giant Dipper is lit up and right next to a cool bar but I forget the name. Claire went when she was in town....

Your hotel is quite swanky!! I love that they serve breakfast on the rooftop! What a view!!!

Bucas might be within walking distance....

Another fun thing...riding the ferry across to Coronado. Not quite to the beach but they do have a small 'seaport' village. Or doing the Harbor Excursion....That is nice. I mostly do these things during the week to avoid crowds.

How exciting! You are traveling all over!!!

Is that the one with the rooftop deck that serves 5 classes of hurricanes? I recommend the class 5...but perhaps not before you ride the Dipper.

I do believe so. Wow, I didn't know the different classes or drinks, that is cool. That would be a cool place to sit during one of the big storms we get...once in a blue moon.

LOL Yeah, I thought of that, too, ride first, drink after!!

All the great restaurants in the Gaslamp and you're gonna take them to a chain restaurant?!?

I'll put a vote in for Lou & Mickey's. A bit pricey, but we've enjoyed it the last two times we've been to S.D.

I also thoroughly enjoyed touring the USS Midway - a retired aircraft carrier that you can tour.

You can also have a beer and BBQ at the bar where they filmed part of Top Gun: Kansas City BBQ

LOL I didn't say TGiFridays!!! {although I had a lot of fun on my last visit...}

The Midway! I was trying to remember the name of it. The Hubster just took the Boy and pals there recently, it is a great place. I wanted to recommend it, too. As well as that area and the Star of India. {is that right?}
