Surf, sand, seventy degrees weather :) San Diego is a great spot to vacation any time of the year! Tours, beaches, great food, marine life, sunsets, world famous zoo, great hiking...something for everyone. First thing I did was figure out what tour to take so I could see and learn a lot and be able to navigate around the city the rest of the time. One of the great tours I have taken in many cities is Old Town Trolley Tours (www.trolleytours.com). They run a fleet of green and orange trolleys that give great fun education and you can hop on and off at every location and stay as long as you wish. Another perk of this tour line is if you park in Old Town San Diego, there is free parking close to the area you catch the bus along with free public bathrooms, tourist shopping and eateries. I also got the Seal Tour with the trolley tour--definitely a must! You get the ride the WW2 amphibious machine around the town then out into the bay where you get to see marine life nose to nose.
A very awesome thing I got to see on my seal tour was an incoming submarine! It was decided that it was returning from a long stent in the war. We were chased away from Point Loma (submarine base) due to security reasons but not before I was able to snap a few pictures of the soldiers lined up on the top!
There was so much to see and do in San Diego that you would have to stay there for years to get it all done! A few things I didn't do-but wanted too was go to the zoo and free museums and do a segway tour of the city. I did have my first Seaworld adventure there and it was a blast! I took a whole day and made my route include every show they offered and they are all worth seeing. And if you go, you HAVE to sit in the "wet zone". I set in some of the further zoned seats and didn't get too wet and had a great view.
One great deal that I found while visiting San Diego, if you area going to visit a lot of the attractions in the area...getting a "GO SAN DIEGO" card. You get a great deal on many attractions for a great discounted price and can pick how many days you want to use the card. Come to find out you could get this card in several major cities and seems to be something worth doing. For more information check out smartdestinations.com/sandiego
