7 Must-See Attractions for Your San Diego Vacation

In This Article:

San Diego is a beautiful city with wonderful weather year-round and a myriad of attractions for people of all ages and interests, so it doesn't come as a shock that many people love to vacation here. So whether you're looking to visit "America's Finest City" or you're a local looking to explore the wonderful city, here are a few can't-miss attractions you should make sure to see while you're here!

1. Balboa Park

Balboa Park boasts beautiful architecture and many of San Diego's best attractions, including museums, gardens, and restaurants. Not to mention, it's a great place to explore and have a totally Instagram-worthy photo shoot.

2. The San Diego Zoo

World-famous and rightfully so, the San Diego Zoo is huge and newly renovated. It's home to a bunch of super cool animals and you can even take a sky ride across the park and get a beautiful view of Balboa Park and downtown San Diego.

3. Old Town

Old Town is home to cute shops and authentic Mexican restaurants, as well as San Diego's most haunted location, the Whaley House. So if you're ever interested in dinner and a ghost tour, Old Town is the perfect spot.

4. Mission Beach

Not only is Mission Beach a great place to hold a beach bonfire, but it's also home to Belmont Park, a small but super cute boardwalk/amusement park. You can take a spin on their roller coaster by day and host a cozy bonfire in one of the fire pits once the sun goes down.

5. SeaWorld

Since the release of Blackfish, SeaWorld has been given a really bad rap. However, not only does SeaWorld play a huge part in sea life protection and conservation efforts, their theme park has so much more than just killer whales. They have attractions that appeal to people of all ages.

6. Coronado

Coronado is technically a different city than San Diego, but it's just a quick trip over the Coronado bridge and you're there. Coronado has beautiful beaches and is home to the reportedly haunted Hotel del Coronado.

7. Petco Park

While the San Diego Padre's aren't the most competitive team, any baseball fan will have a good time at Petco Park. Additionally, the park's food selection is pretty good (if a little overpriced).

So whether you're a San Diego native or a tourist, San Diego is an awesomely beautiful place to explore! Just do me a favor and stay classy while you're here.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
