Travel Notes: The Essentials ✅
Our San Diego Picks
La Jolla Cove — fish tacos on Prospect; sea lion lookout and coastal path to Shell Beach.
Balboa Park (Park Blvd.) — gardens and museums; Prado walkways, easy stroller routes. Spend an entire afternoon!
Coronado (Ferry Landing–Silver Strand) — bayside skyline views; flat bike path to wide, calm surf.
Family Essentials
La Jolla Tide Pools (Hospital Reef) — best at low tide; arrive early and wear water shoes.
San Diego Zoo (Balboa Park) — shaded paths; hit pandas and koalas first thing to avoid lines.
Old Town Transit Center — trolley hub for car-free days; morning start for fewer crowds.
Easy Day Trips
Julian — 75–90 min — pine forests, historic main street, hand pies; combine with Cuyamaca Lake loop.

Encinitas/Carlsbad — 35–50 min — Swami’s tide pools and beach walks; sunset at Moonlight State Beach.
