San Diego Things to Do

Perhaps the most well-known aquarium in the US, SeaWorld San Diego is a place for animal-lovers of all ages. The attractions, exhibits, rides, and shows make SeaWorld one of the top places to visit during a visit to San Diego.

What can be said about this stately and majestic park? Yosemite is on the “Must See” list of any nature lover who comes to California. With over 3.5 million visitors annually, it’s obvious that Yosemite National Park is not your average, run-of-the-mill tourist attraction.

We’ve all seen the movies, but could the saga that put Lucas Films on the map truly become a reality? Would the X-Wing ever cruise through inter-stellar space or even park in our garage? Could the massive, elephantine AT-ATs that walked the frozen world of Hoth ever play on Earth’s green shores?

The wild beauty of San Francisco‘s Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoias Trip is an experience that captures the imagination and transports you into an extraordinary nature spectacular.

After the wine-lover movie Sideways debuted, the humble corner of California known as the Santa Ynez Valley received some much deserved attention for being a charming area full of rolling golden hillsides and the home of wineries that produce such names as Firestone, Jaffurs, Sanford, and Hitching Post. Just over the hills from Santa Barbara, these little villages are a perfect escape from those who wish to see some of California’s beautiful inland countryside, without having to travel too far north to Napa and Sonoma. And though small, there is always a lot going on in this little nook.

A brief (two hours), affordable (a little over $60), and exciting (high speed!) way to take in San Diego harbor is by two-seater speed boat as part of a guided tour from Cabrillo Isle Marina in a circuitous, 13-mile route around the harbor.
