Things To See and Do While In San Diego, Ca

Monday, February 1, 2016


Since I have another "itch" to travel out of the area and explore, we have decided to take a trip to San Diego, Ca. in a week. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive  from Quartzsite, Az.( according to Map Quest). With a recommendation from another camper, we will be staying at the Sweetwater Park in San Diego County. Looks like too that if we stay at least 2 nights, we get one night free! Sweet deal!   Jakey will be with us to so after much researching I think I have have found him a good spot for doggy daycare while we are out for the day. We even get the first day free! Another sweet deal!

It takes alot of researching when we travel, looking on Trip Advisor for things to do, sending for travel guides from tourism departments, and checking out other reviews. I have come up with a few places we are going to try our best to get to, and then blog to you, our readers on how things went.

*** ( and in no particular order of must see first or must see last!)
