This past weekend my husband, 9 year old son and I headed out to Warner Spring Ranch in San Diego’s east county for a little R&R. The ranch, which was originally established in 1844 as a stagecoach stop, is a funky and rustic oasis of the best kind. Just an hour and a half out […]
Kicking it in Coronado
One of our favorite things to do is spend time on Coronado Island. With each visit there are some must do’s as well as taking time to discover something new. It never disappoints us! You don’t have to stay on the island to enjoy it (although that is fun too!) Here are some of our […]
It’s A Boy!
This little guy, born about 8:30 pm on Monday, April 12th, is the newest member of the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park family. He’s the second elephant born at the Park this year and they are expecting one more later this spring. They are having a mini elephant baby boom! This newborn is the first for his mom, Swazi, […]
Fly High With the Butterflies
Yesterday I took my two kids ages 7 and 9 to the Wild Animal Park’s Butterfly Jungle. It’s the Wild Animal Park’s big exhibit running through April 18th. As you walk toward the exhibit located in the Hidden Jungle, there were people dressed with butterfly wings giving out information and entertaining visitors. When we arrived […]
The Aliens Have Landed!
I had the pleasure of attending a sneak preview of the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s new exhibit, The Science of…Aliens, last week. Now being a self-proclaimed sci-fi lover, I was all over this invitation as soon as I got it. What would the Air & Space Museum’s take on this hotly contested topic be? […]
Baseball season is here
Though we San Diegans are still licking the wounds from the Chargers disappointing playoff loss, there is hope. While the east coast digs out from under a mountain of snow, we turn our attention to baseball season, sunny skies and our youthful Padres team. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training next week, but baseball […]
Walkabout With The Zoo’s Koalas
The San Diego Zoo will be going crazy for cuties from down under during Koalapalooza this Friday through next Monday, Jan. 15 to 18. The four-day event will celebrate the loveable Aussie creatures and give guests the chance to meet the Zoo’s koala keepers, have a close encounter with the animals outside of their usual […]
There Is a Santa Claus!
If San Diego has no official Santa Claus yet (and happens to need one), I nominate Bill Swank.
San Diego Is Alive With Holiday Lights!
First off, let me say happy holidays to all! I hope you all have the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic holiday season and spend some much needed down-time with family and friends! To that end, I wanted to share this fun link. Earlier in the week I was feeling the need for a good holiday […]
I Love a Parade
There is no shortage of holiday fun to be had here in town, but me — I love a parade. Standing along a street crowded with thousands of my fellow townsfolk, a small child on my shoulders, one strapped to my chest (a new take on “strapping, young man”), watching a big, colorful, musical party go by — that’s the reason for the season, you ask me. Here are three San Diego holiday parades I don’t miss.
