The new memorial at Tuna Harbor Park, “A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military,” is the crowning piece in the Port of San Diego Public Art program’s Greatest Generation Collection, which is a series of art pieces and memorials honoring people, events and military heritage from World War II to present day. Bob Hope’s presence in the collection is fitting since that is just about the same span of time that he entertained U.S. troops overseas.

Ever Dreamed of Flying?
Here’s your chance! As you may recall, back in May I told you about the new Flightline zip-line adventure at the Wild Animal Park. You know, the one where you soar 400 feet above animals, flying at about 40+ miles per hour? Well recently, some of my fellow bloggers and I took it upon ourselves […]
Take A Stroll at La Jolla Shores Beach!
This past weekend was one of the best weather weekends we’ve had in a while! I really enjoyed my weekly beach volleyball games at Ocean Beach, but decided Sunday afternoon that my dose of beach on Saturday was just not enough for the weekend. With 70 miles of beaches in San Diego, there are a […]

I brought my sorority alumnae group to Mrs. Burton’s Tea Room and Victorian Shop […]
Floral Frenzy at the San Diego Fair
Sure the San Diego County Fair is about rides, rodeos and crazy food concoctions, but I’d like to highlight my 2nd favorite part of the fair: The garden exhibits. My favorite part of the fair is actually the petting zoo, but writing a whole post called “My Love of Sheep” or “How I Wish I Could Hug All […]
Teeing it up at Sycuan Resort
One of the most overlooked aspects of San Diego is our abundance of great golf courses. Despite perfect weather and an amazing selection of courses we are still not given our due credit as a golf destination. I recently played a few rounds at the course where I learned the game, Sycuan Resort. The course […]
In Case You Need Reasons to Road Trip
Last weekend, the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register both ran stories that will get you itching to hit the road. The Times wrote about seeking out great craft beer and specifically highlighted brewery tours in San Diego. The Register did a “choose your own” adventure story featuring everything from the Loews Surf Dog Competition to Fleet Week with a […]
Encinitas, Top Ten Town for Hanging Ten
Surfer Magazine just released their list of the ten best surf towns in America and San Diego’s Encinitas nabbed the number 3 spot. The serious surfers at Surfer loved Encinitas’ laid-back surf culture, the quality of life (from the climate to abundance of cute girls) and the proximity to all of San Diego’s other great surf […]
