Question

.there are 4 adults and kids ages 16 13 8 and 10...weve been to the zoo and seaworld so we are only going to go to one of them... were going to spend time at la jolla an we are going to gaslamp tuesday night...so does anyone have any suggestions of things we can do the rest of the week..for the entire family

Answer 1

you can check out the Wild Animal Park over east of Escondido, like the Zoo except bigger and the animals roam freely. But check the weather before you go b/c it can be very hot our there during the day compared to what it is near the coast in La Jolla.

YOu still have time to check out the SD County Fair I believe, I think the 4th or 5th is the last day so if you want to go do it before then. The Padre's will be in town for the last few days of your trips so you can catch a game downtown too.

Pacific and Mission Beach are great beach communities to visit but it's going to be really crowded and full of young people partying that week, so that may or may not be something you want to do. Also renting a jet ski or boat and taking it out on Mission Bay is always a fun activity.

Since you are in La Jolla check out Windansea Beach at the end of Natilus St just west of La Jolla Blvd or/and the Marine St beach just north of Windansea. These are my favorite beaches in SD and are not very touristy or too crowded. Also other great beaches north of LJ are Torrey Pines State Park, great place to hike up the coastal bluffs too. And Del Mar and Solana Beach have nice beaches within walking distances of their downtowns.

Answer 2

1. San Diego Wild Animal Park at dark would work for everyone, plus it's HOT out there during the day and very tolerable at night http://www.sandiegozoo.org/calendar/wap_parkatdark.html

2. Go to a Padres game; could combine this with Gaslamp as they're in the same area http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=sd&m=7&y=2007

3. Either take the ferry over to Coronado, visit the Hotel Del and the beautiful Silver Strand State Beach, or take a harbor cruise if you haven't done so yet http://www.sdro.com/sdhe/tours.htm

4. The San Diego Maritime museum is pretty interesting and offers a lot of opportunities to poke around/climb around various old ships, including the Star of India which is the oldest still-operating sailing ship in the world; they also have a really cool old Russian submarine and the sailing boat used in the Russell Crowe movie Master and Commander and other interesting things http://www.sdmaritime.com/ContentPage.asp?ContentID=9

5. Balboa Park has great museums and on Sundays the international houses are open...also lots of free entertainment during the summer...always lots to do and see http://www.balboapark.org/

5a. At Balboa Park they've got a temporary show of the Dead Sea scrolls which is a BIG DEAL but I'm not sure if they might be sold out for the dates you're considering; better contact the Natural History Museum to check it out. I know that people are coming from all over the western US to see just this exhibit. http://www.balboapark.org/calendar/detail.php?EventID=101

6. I suggest you check out the local newspaper's websection on visitor information for lots of other great ideas http://entertainment.signonsandiego.com/visitorsguide.html

7. Seeing some kind of theatre here might be fun to do. There's a half price tix booth next to Horton Plaza that might be of assistance. The top three professional companies here are La Jolla Playhouse, the Old Globe Theatres and the San Diego Rep, but there are other good, smaller theatres too. You can also buy tickets on-line from them http://www.sandiegoperforms.com/ARTSTIX/index.html

Answer 5

for people who've a Christmas easy custom i think it rather is putting them up after Thanksgiving and down or a minimum of off after the hot year (on each occasion your new year starts to your loved ones's ethnicity). I even have heard it relatively is frowned upon to maintain them up all year, love it relatively is a white trailer trash element to do or something. i do no longer relatively care approximately that. the only lighting fixtures we've up are Christmas lighting fixtures around our terrace and that they seem purdy interior the night after a bbq! happy Hump Day! :)
