San Diego - looking for advice

Recommended Posts

Doing an RV trip in March. After heading to the Grand Canyon, Vegas and visiting a buddy in Quartzsite AZ, we will be heading to San Diego. Any tips would be appreciated. Myself, wife, kids (12 and 14.)

 

Places to see, best burgers, best pints, etc etc.

 

Sarcasm and insults are also welcome!

 

Cheers!

San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoos, period.

 

Sea World. Go early.

 

Legoland A lot of fun if you've never been, but the rides are not so great (relatively speaking). If you look around, you can easily find "Kid free with paid adult" coupons.

 

USS Midway is a great vessel and tour.

 

For food, I haven't been in years, but look for Croces in the Gaslamp district. Opened by Jim Croce's wife. Sometimes their son (AJ) plays there. Dude is terrific.

Apparently Croce's closed for good a year ago: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Croces-Park-West-Closes-for-Good-366499371.html

 

I've never been there, but Joshua Tree National Park is gorgeous if you're looking for something outdoorsy. The rock climbing there is supposed to be magnificent.

1 - Brewery tour - Green Flash, Ballast Point, Stone

 

2 - USS Midway

 

3 - Take the water taxi to Coronado and walk to the hotel http://coronadovisitorcenter.com/the-place-to-be-outdoors/hotel-del-coronado-tour/

 

4 - Tour some of the military sites http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2016/07/02/san-diego-navy-attractions/86612778/

On #4 in the link, Gen Rosecrans was from the Delaware OH area (near where I live) and was a key Civil War general. He helped develop and improved the field ambulance. He became a large land owner in CA and then a US Rep from CA.

 

5 - Say goodbye to the Qualcomm

Don't end up slapping your meat on a street corner.

Even if it's in Winslow Arizona?

Pullano's Pizza

This is the home of The Bills Backers

Phoenix ( Wild West )

John McCartney is their President.
