From Horse Racing to Beaches in San Diego

by Thomas Burtonelli

San Diego is touted as a tremendous vacation destination. As a local, I can tell you it is. From family events to a vibrant nightlife, there is something for everyone and you’ll never get bored.

While the Zoo might dominate San Diego animal attractions, Sea World offers a definitive water inspired park. You can see killer whales do tricks and the like. Whether this is really a good things is debatable, but there you are.

Now for something completely different. You haven’t lived until you’ve gone grunion hunting. Grunion are little fish that come up on the beach to breed in the middle of the night during full moons. You chase them. Adult beverages are recommended.

Just trolley it baby! San Diego has installed a trolley system that runs through parts of the county. Throw away your schedule of things to see. Just jump on the trolley, get off when you like and do some exploring. We’re friendly people.

Bro, I wanna surf. If this sounds like a good statement to you, I have great news. San Diego is stuffed with surf schools. You can look them up online or ask around your area. There’s one just about every three blocks.

If an adult beverage in a more regal spot is your idea of a good time, the Hyatt in downtown San Diego is the place to go. Well, the top floor at least. It is a classy bar with large windows overlooking all of San Diego.

Looking to do a bit of dancing. From the Tango to line dancing to whatever is hot, one needs look no farther than downtown San Diego. Head over to E street and prepare to burn off dinner with some seriously fun gyrating.

Does the “Deadliest Catch” catch your fishing fancy? Why not try it out for a day. You can take day fishing trips on trollers from downtown San Diego and Oceanside in North County. It costs less than $100 and is a blast.

This represents only a tiny list of the many things you can do in San Diego. I’ve lived here for 30 plus years and still find new things to do. People are friendly. The place is beautiful and fun is available at just about every turn. See you soon, dude!
