After reading this, I can confidently say that I now want to visit San Diego, and honestly I feel completely prepared to do so because of your extensive and wide range of activities and sights to see. I really enjoyed reading this and learning about San Diego.
Next summer I hope to visit my cousin who lives in Los Angeles, and while I’m out there I would love to go to San Diego as well! I would especially love to go to the San Diego zoo because I have never actually been to a zoo before (unless you count Zoo America at Hershey park, which most people don’t). Thanks for all the great recommendations!
I have never considered visiting San Diego, but after your post I might have to plan a trip with my friends. It looks like there’s so much to do and so much food to eat. I’ll definitely have to check it out one day!
