PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
Sunny beaches. Snorkeling. Watching a vermillion sunset over rugged cliffs and sea caves while listening to the barking of sea lions.
Welcome to San Diego, the country’s most southwestern city and the perfect place for a weekend getaway!
Let’s hit the heavy hitters on the first day, since you can’t come to San Diego and skip the world-famous San Diego Zoo or its next-door neighbor Balboa Park!
Because of the sprawling animal habitats, the zoo itself is huge, covering about 100 acres, with over 4,000 animals and 600 different species.
The park is a local favorite spot today, as a place to take in culture, grab a bite to eat, and to capture the perfect photo opportunity.
Italian fishermen and their families settled in this area in the 1920s, giving you authentic Italian food like Filippi's Pizza Grotto.
If you’ve still got energy, head downtown to Cafe Sevilla to dance salsa and bachata!
