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 […]
Fair Fare Starts Friday
The San Diego County Fair opens on Friday June 12th and runs through through July 5th. I’ve been going to the fair since I was a kid, but now that I’m a little older there are two things that get me out to the Del Mar Fairgrounds: food & concerts. This year the fair has […]

A Night at the Museum…Zoo or SeaWorld
Ben Stiller is hilarious but, I’m not sure I’d be up for spending a night at the museum when he’s on duty. For families looking to make amazing memories without risking ancient Egyptian curses, San Diego has cool sleepovers in unusual places like: Ahoy, matey! The San Diego Maritime Museum on San Diego Bay has family sleepovers aboard the […]

Take An Elephant Odyssey
San Diego Zoo’s Elephant Odyssey is officially open! Seven elephants – six Asian and one African – now call the 2.4 acre habitat home. The new exhibition puts you right in their world.
Tranquility Blooms At the Japanese Friendship Garden
The Japanese Friendship Garden provides a place of peace and contemplation in a familiar environment. There is a tremendous amount of thought behind creating and maintaining a venue of such simplicity. It is a deceptively secluded area of Balboa Park, with very little outside noise allowed in. In fact, it wasn’t until I left the garden that I was reminded of outside noises such as children and passing cars. There was a real feeling of back-to-the-real-world.
I Was Trainer For a Day At SeaWorld
What is it about dolphins and other sea creatures that make us want to get in the water with them and give them love? Whatever it is, San Diego is fortunate to have a place where we can scratch that itch. Sea World’s variety of behind-the-scenes programs each have a cost above and beyond the price of admission, but talk about making memories for the family!
