It’s National Dessert Day, not that I think there needs to be one, to me every day is dessert day. My go to dessert is chocolate. Pretty much anything with chocolate will get my attention. Below is a sampling of some delicious creations you can find in San Diego. Tell us, what is your favorite […]

This is the weekend of the festival. With weather projected to be above 70 degrees all weekend, what better way to celebrate being in San Diego than participating in one of these fun festivals. Which one sounds fun to you? Little Italy FESTA!: In its 16th year, the Little Italy neighborhood continues to celebrate its […]
“The Tramp” Comes to the La Jolla Playhouse
The La Jolla Playhouse is one of my favorite places to experience theatre in San Diego. With over 50 Playhouse-originated productions having been transferred to Broadway, I am always curious to see what new and exciting show they have come up with. Therefore, I am so excited to see the world-premiere musical Limelight: The Story […]
Sunny Jim Cave
Recently, our blogger extraordinaire Stephenie wrote an entry about interesting historical sites in San Diego. I realized after reading it my kids might actually get a kick out of seeing them (and learn something too!) I decided our first stop would be the Sunny Jim Cave, located in La Jolla. If you haven’t been or […]
5 To Try This Weekend: Extreme Water Sports Edition
With the weather hovering around a perfect 73 degrees this weekend, what better way to enjoy it than by spending the day in the great outdoors – and even better – on the water. In San Diego, you can run, ride, and skateboard near the water’s edge, and in the water is just as fun! […]
S’mores and More in San Diego
S ‘mores and summer go hand in hand, especially in San Diego where you can enjoy this delicious desert right on the beach. It’s a campfire classic that is so simple to make yet full of such gooey goodness. The more the marshmallow is burnt – the better! Want to make your own s ‘mores […]
There IS Something about Seahorses
This past weekend, I took my kids to see “There’s Something About Seahorses” at the Birch Aquarium. It’s a great place to spend a few hours, especially if you are entertaining a crowd. To access the seahorses we first went through “Feeling the Heat: The Climate Challenge” exhibit. It’s a very interactive exhibit that helps […]
San Diego and the Fish Taco – A Perfect Pair
There are two things that are sure to get San Diegans talking (other than sports); Which beach is the best, and where to eat the best fish tacos. While the fish taco officially started somewhere in Baja, San Diego has adopted it as its signature dish. Fish tacos can be found pretty much anywhere in San Diego – from the chain restaurant Rubio’s (one of the founding fish taco locations in San Diego) to more fine dining – George’s Ocean Terrace. So when you visit San Diego, be sure to try one – you won’t be disappointed. After the break are some of my favorite places for fish tacos.
5 to Try:Historical Sites
I am a lover of many things; however, history is not one of them so when I heard that San Diego was the birthplace of California (I may have dozed off during that class… sorry Mom), I was surprised that many of the state’s beginnings took place right here in my stomping grounds. With a […]
