Sightseeing
Balboa Park is one of the largest city parks in the United States. Take in a play, go to one of the many museums or houses of hospitality, purchase local art, take in a free organ concert, visit the San Diego Zoo or just walk around and enjoy the botanical gardens. If you like small-scale trains, do not miss the model railway museum. If you like Japanese tea and gardens, stop by the Japanese pavilion. Enjoy a nice lunch or dinner on the patio at the Prado restaurant (reservations recommended for dinner on holidays or weekends).

The OB Pier is a large municipal pier that will give you great views of the waves (on the beach side or behind where they break). Sit and watch the surfers or one of the many anglers vying for a vast array of salt water fish.

Mission Bay is a beautiful aquatic park located just West of I-5 and north of I-8. If you like to walk, park in a parking lot east of the roller coaster, cross the street and walk along the bay. It is so relaxing, you can walk back along the boardwalk of Pacific and Mission Beaches.

If you like to get a good view of the entire park, the scoreboard and downtown San Diego - and be a bit higher up to see all the action on the field - I would recommend the Toyota Terrace (second level). I favor the first base line - somewhere between home plate and just past first base. Sometimes I buy cheaper tickets and move around the stadium, enjoying different seats and views. You can also purchase 'park at the park' tickets and lie on the grass, just beyond the outfield. the views are obstructed, but it's a very enjoyable, relaxing scene.

This mall is a bit of an experience. Definitely upscale - all my guests really enjoy it. Lots of places to eat & shop - a wine and other bars are outdoors and very relaxing. It's a nice day to stroll the shops, get a bite to eat and just relax. (note: this mall charges for parking > 2 hours)

If you are looking for southern california beach wear, this is your place. Think nice board shorts, short sleeve shirts, jeans and other accessories - you can even buy a surf board! They have a vast array of both women's and men's clothing. Although the prices are mid-upper range, the clothing I purchase here is of top-notch quality and lasts many years.
