There are a trunk load of different events over the span of Fashion Week San Diego (September 29-October 5, 2014), including international designers, hair and make-up shows, knitwear and textiles, and even runway shows with kids wear and “Haute Dogs” (adoptable pets!).

Old Town Trolley’s La Jolla and Mission Beach Tour

From relaxed surfer towns like Ocean Beach to the family friendly beaches of Mission Bay and the luxurious shores of La Jolla, San Diego has the perfect seaside destination for everyone. Each of San Diego’s beach towns has a different personality that reflects the city’s diversity. When friends and family visit from out of town and ask me what beaches I recommend, it is always hard to pick just one since I think they should explore all of them to really get a feel for the city. When I heard that Old Town Trolley Tours offers a San Diego beach tour where visitors could explore San Diego’s most beautiful beaches in one day, I knew I had to try it. This would give me an opportunity to be a tourist in my own city and experience it so I could recommend it to friends and family.
