3 perfect days in San Diego

Jul 12, 2024 • 11 min read

Southern California doesn’t disappoint when it comes to long-weekend getaways, but one of my all-time favorites—with or without kids—is San Diego. Looking for a relaxing beach vacation? Head to the sandy shores of Coronado Island. Need to keep the small fry occupied for a few hours? Check out the cute creatures at San Diego Zoo. Are you foodie at heart? Every neighborhood has at least one standout, but the Gaslamp District and Little Italy are full of award winners. A big plus: San Diego also has some of the best mom-and-pop taco stands around.
