San Diego for a week end

We were staying in LA for 2 weeks and we decided to drive to San Diego for a weekend before we get back to Atlanta, the drive was really smooth and our little angel just slept all the way ;)

This place was like a whole city built for families, we loved spending time there and the weather was really perfect as well (we went in early April).

We were staying at Sheraton hotel - very close to the airport- and we enjoyed everything about the hotel:-

 The Amazing View


view from the club lounge



The Club lounge:  It was convenient for breakfast, we were not around to try the afternoon snacks though.

The Pool:  It was so big and overlooking the sea with the view of all those Yachts... it was perfect

The hotel pool
And it was only 10 minutes drive from the main attractions.

We have been to two of the main attractions there, we chose them based on ratings and what could be a first time to experience.

Sea World

An amazing place to see, one day is not enough but it was all that we had unfortunately.
P.S. rides are for kids who can walk, if your baby still can't walk then you should take that into consideration.

From the entrance when you get to interact with different kinds of fish and your kids can touch them and put their hands in the water so the fish would touch them, through the rides in different theme areas to the shows and the different exhibitions of the penguins and the Beluga whale....etc.

The most amazing thing we loved there was the whale show.




Also the flamingos were such a treat to the eye..


We all loved this place and we had lots of fun.

San Diego Zoo


To be honest we had expected more from the San Diego zoo but may be because we have been to a lot of open zoos in Africa so we were not so impressed, but one thing to say is it has very distinctive collection of animals.

The one thing I really wanted to see was the Panda, it was my number one on the list but unfortunately and after a wait time of 20 minutes we only saw the panda sleeping :s

A must see  while you are here is the Kuala section, who would imagine you can find Kuala in this part of the world...


Also, the Bears (you can see them swimming when it gets hot)


And you finally have to pass by the Hippo, if you are lucky you can get to see the baby hippo (we were not).



San Diego in general is amazing, you can take a walk or go jogging by the ocean at sunset and enjoy a beautiful view.



I can rate this city as a number 2 in family cities in the united states. If you are on the west coast plan visiting this place.
