#694: Largest Nude Beach in the US.
Nice hike! Glorious beauty! Hang gliders overhead! Oh… and some serious bare butt surprises!
#680: Spend Valentine’s Day With Mom.
What’s the best gift to give Mom on Mother’s Day? Not roses. Or chocolate. Orrrr a mani-pedi. Instead, surprise her with a morning hike at Torrey Pines, a rocky beach reception and plenty of selfies. Miss you Mom! Come back to the west coast soon! Psssttt… let’s stay in that AirBnB again. 🙂
#679: Be In Two Places At Once.
The U.S. has several spots where you can be in two places at once. Turns out, San Diego has neighborhoods like that. You can stand one foot in Encinitas and one foot in Solana Beach.
#672: Smell the Stink of La Jolla Cove.
With its gorgeous bluffs and shimmering waters, one would think La Jolla Cove –– the jewel of Southern California –– has tourists just flocking to its streets, cafes and beaches. The streets and cafes, yes. But one beach in particular, no. The Children’s Beach has some lovely tenants who are quite smelly: the harbor seals. Unfortunately their lazy antics are driving some people crazy and smelling up cove. Note to self: two things to bring –– Febreeze and a clothespin.
#669: Visit the Nation’s Best: San Diego Zoo.
Though expensive, the trip was worth every penny of my $90 ticket, every animal sighting (GIRAFFES, my favorite!), every inch of the 4.5 mile course, and every bite of the surprisingly delicious turkey sandwich. And it even got me a free ticket to the Safari Park.
