Heading to San Diego with the family next week. We have been there before, and love the zoo & wild animal park. Is there anything else that is a "can't miss" while we are there? We will be there for five full days, boys are 13 & 10.

over near UCSD, there is a parasailing place at the beach. it's set high up, overlooking the beach, and you can hang out and watch the parasailers. it's pretty cool. have fun!  |

Whale watching...they come right up to your boat!!! I saw a listing for a whale watching cruise and thought the kids might like that. I might see if I can talk them into it. Any recommendations for a cruise company? The one that interested me the most was run by the Natural History Museum. |

The whales seem semi...'domesticated' and come up to just about any boat...almost to the point of touching them...
you can see ...and almost touch the barnacles on them .

I don't know what your budget allows, but when we were there, besides the 'regular' tourist attractions they provide, we also took a hot-air balloon tour over wine country. It was unforgettable.

We were there last April and went over the bridge to Coronado to the beach for a day - it was fantastic! There's this huge old hotel too that's been in movies I guess - we only saw it from down the beach. But the beach is great! |

But the beach is great! ooh...remembered something else. across the water from the Hotel Coronado, there's an awesome lighthouse - Point Loma. there's a pretty decent trail around the land, with exhibits about the history of the lighthouse and the military in the area. |
