SAN DIEGO MINI GUIDE! It really is one of California’s most vibrant and laid back cities, a mecca of beautiful Pacific beaches, cute cafes, gorgeous parks, amazing restaurants and year-round stellar weather. Sharing all of my favorites below! Have you been to San Diego? @visitsandiego #visitsd #ad PLACES TO VISIT BALBOA PARK Balboa Park is the beating heart of San Diego, and my favorite spot in the city. There’s a little bit of everything here – spectacular parks, museums and cultural sights. My personal favorites are Casa del Prado, the Lily Pond, Alcazar Garden and the Japanese Friendship Garden. CABRILLO NATIONAL MONUMENT The southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula is where you’ll find the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, beautiful tidepools and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. HARPER’S TOPIARY GARDEN Inspired garden on a hill that feels a bit like Europe with green shrubs trimmed into life-sized figurines. This is actually someone’s front yard – it’s beautiful! LA JOLLA COVE On a warm day, the calm waters of La Jolla Cove sparkle the perfect shades of turquoise. Gorgeous place to spend the day – keep an eye out for the sea Lions! OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO This vibrant neighborhood is a lovely spot to spend an afternoon, home to boutiques, restaurants, colorful flags and historic 19th century buildings. PARK PRESIDIO Park Presidio sits perched on a hilltop that overlooks Old Town San Diego. It’s home to the beautiful Junipero Serra Museum that resembles an old Spanish-style mission. SPRUCE STREET SUSPENSION BRIDGE A fun suspension bridge that sits tucked away in Bakers Hill. The bridge dates back to 1912, and crosses over Sessions Canyon. TORREY PINES STATE NATURAL RESERVE Great hiking options wind through the cliffs above Torrey Pines State Beach. The otherworldly sandstone canyons are particularly incredible. CAFES & RESTAURANTS Born & Raised, Craft & Commerce, Holy Matcha, Holy Paleta, Huntress, Ironside Fish & Oyster, Kingfisher, Morning Glory, Oscars Mexican Seafood, Seneca Trattoria, S3 Coffee, Wayfarer Bread & Pastry HOTELS Carte Hotel, Hotel Republic, The Pendry #sandiego #california #balboapark

Beyond AMAZING Spider-Man The Exhibition is NOW OPEN at the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego. To celebrate the webslinger’s 60th anniversary, Marvel and Comic-Con have teamed up to create this unique experience. Guests step into stunning photo ops, walk through halls of comic book panels, and even see props from the several live-action films. 🕸 Overall, I thought that the exhibit paid tribute to Spider-man in a fun and educational way. Whether you’re a veteran fan or unfamiliar, there’s something for you to learn and experience. DETAILS: • Comic-Con Museum in Balboa Park, San Diego • Runs through January 3, 2023 • Tickets are $30 Adults, $18 children 2-12 • Discounts: Military, Students, and Seniors save $6 (student discount works for kids ages 13-17) 🎟 I recommend purchasing tickets in advance on Comic-Con Museum’s site @comicconmuseum. The experience is about 1 hour and you’ll need to book your time slot reservation. *** #sandiego #comiccon #spiderman #marvel #SpideyBeyondAmazing #SDCC2022 #SDCC #SDCCMuseum #sandiegocomiccon #visitsandiego #sandiegoliving

Rainy Day showing our Niece and her family around San Diego’s gorgeous Balboa Park. We love coming here - and Tux didn’t seem to mind the wet adventure 😋🐶🌧️ This is the FIRST time we have been to the park while the historic Pipe Organ was playing!! Was so fun hearing them play the songs from the Sound Of Music! 🎶 We highly recommend visiting Balboa Park if you are ever in San Diego! #balboapark #balboaparksandiego #sandiego #sandiegopark #sandiegoliving #throuple #polyamorous #polyamory #polyamorie #dogdads #dogdad #boyfriends
