Crab sandwiches to die for. :) Also huge fish market with daily fresh fish, sushi and lots of other delicious things. Its an order at the counter, grab a beer and take food outside and sit on the dock and look at all the boats or if you prefer they have a nice dining area up some stairs with a great view of the water and docks. Or buy the freshest fish, caught dailyand bring home to cook to your favorite recipe or just throw on the BBQ!

This is Jean's favorite Italian resteraunt. Every single thing on their menu is fantastic but I always order the crab and shrimp cannelloni. The calzones are all incredible as is their sausage pizza. And every dessert is the bomb. Recommend the tiramisu and the cannellonis . They have a great inexpensive Friday lunch buffet from 11-2. They are about 10 min from our house.

Beautiful walk down to the beach. One of our best quiet secluded beaches. Hike down is easy and medium hike back uphill to your car. Just take it slow. :) . Take a picnic lunch and stay for the day. You pay a nominal fee for parking.

go see the seals right on the beach and if you like to kayak, rentals available and you can even paddle into caves. Nice park area if you don't like sand to throw a frisbee around and have a picnic. Beautiful views and scenery. Lots of shops and restaurants all around in walking distance.

Its our World Famous Zoo. Fantastic and fun. Can spend a whole day trying to see it all. Kids and adults alike will love it. You can bring in food too if you want to make it thriftyier. :) but they do have good food inside. Lots of shows and animals galore. The Monkeys and also the hippos swimming are our favorite two to visit. Great hiking or you can take a bus tour or tram ride swinging high in the air. Lots of parking.

Everything Else

The Holtel Del is famous and gorgeous inside. Known for being haunted. Food is good. Beaches flat and easy to get to and large open spaces. The town itself is really fun to walk around in. Houses are darling to stroll and see too. Visiting presidents have stayed in some of the homes right on the water that you can walk by. Bikes to rent are a great idea. Especailly the ones with the motors! :) You can see and do a zillion different things and not spend much or go hog wild and spend a lot! :)

It is a quaint small mountain town about 25 min east of El Cajon. Beautiful drive through Cuyamaca mountains and Cuyamaca lake. Can stop there and rent a boat and fish or keep on going into Julian and see the old west. Fun shops, great food, from BBQ, mexican, italian and more. There is even a gold mine you can pan gold for. Fun for families because there is something for everyone. Known for their apple pies. Definitly bring one home to enjoy. Moms is our favorite, or just have a slice up there with cinnamon ice cream. Don't forget to stop at the corner store that makes fresh apple cider (hot in the winter months) and sells all kinds of specialty items. Great museum to visit too!

Sightseeing

If you do nothing else in San Diego I highly recommend this. My husband and I's #1 place we bring visitors to. Take the ferry across to Coronado Island and rent bikes and ride around Coronado. Or go for and incredible romantic dinner at Peohe's. (Definitly try their lobster bisque!) Fun for families too is accross from Peohe's is an outdoor (covered) pizza resteraunt. Great little shops, live music and ice cream shops. If at all possible ride the Ferry back just before the sun goes down and watch the downtown city of San Diego light up. Gorgeous and a memory you will love forever!!

If you love dogs, this is a fun place to go to see every breed imaginable running and playing in the sand and the ocean. Beach area on the other side of peir for humans who don't want a dog running up to say hello. Nice beach, easy parking and access. Lots of laughter and smiles for all if you love those darling furry friends. Owners are very good about picking up after their dogs so its very clean.
