La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places in San Diego. The expansive cliffs, numerous sea lions, incredible views of the coast, and classy shops and dining options attract thousands of visitors daily. On a beautiful Sunday in March, the 8th to be exact, I ventured out to find a coffee shop with an ocean view and to take a nice walk around La Jolla Cove. It takes patience to find parking, but eventually one of the 2-hour spots near the grassy area will become available.

Having been to The L...

The area of Bay Park in San Diego is a much desired area in San Diego. There are some very popular businesses and shops such as Siesel's Meats, Starbucks, Sprouts, Bay Park Coffee, Local Krave, Bull's Smokin BBQ, JV's Mexican Food, Luce Bar & Kitchen, and Bird's Surf Shed. Having raised my kids in the area for the last 10 years I can attest to the fact that this is a very tight knit community. I see many neighbors helping neighbors and several businesses donating to local schools. In addition...

What better place to spend our 2017 Easter than at the beautiful Torrey Pines Gliderport! There was a live band playing, along with many people paragliding and hang gliding. Bring family, friends, or visitors to enjoy the views and have a bite to eat at The Cliffhanger Café which sits atop the cliffs of Torrey Pines. Some see whales and dolphins from the outdoor dining area.

After a little snack we hiked down to Blacks Beach adding to our already terrific day. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and wat...

If you have not had the privilege of visiting La Jolla Shores beach I highly recommend planning a trip. The sand is soft and warm and there are palm trees everywhere. Kayak to the cliffs and go inside the caves, surf, or get a glimpse of the Leopard Sharks while snorkeling. There are cafes and restaurants close to the beach or you can BBQ yourself. There is a small parking lot that you can pay $2/hr to park in or feel free to park on La Jolla Blvd or one of the side streets and just walk to t...

One of my favorite places in San Diego is the Cabrillo National Monument. My sons 3rd grade class took a field trip to Cabrillo this month and of course I had to tag along.

The statue of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo stands on a breathtaking overlook of the Pacific Ocean. "The visitor center offers an "Age of Explorati...
