Spend a day (or more) exploring San Diego where as my mother says, "the weather is perfect all year round!" If you love the California coastline and want to have some fun in the sun check out La Jolla Cove. You can swim, snorkel, scuba dive, kayak, bicycle and EAT! There are so many restaurants and bars to choose from. La Jolla is about a 1.5-2hr drive away. Another option in the San Diego area is the world renowned San Diego Zoo. In addition to the zoo you have the ability to visit the Safari Park. Check out your options for entry in advance.
