California Question

[LosMediasBlancas]

The zoos in San Diego and New Orleans put the San Fran zoo to shame, but it's still a kick-ass experience.

 

 

I figured that, I've heard Chicagoans say that the SD zoo is overated, that it's the same if not worse than Brookfield. IMO, unless you have a ton of time, any big zoo is not a good idea, as it tends to be an all day experience.

If you're there awhile, the Pacific Coast Highway is kind of cool to drive. It's really nice scenery. It's a pretty long drive though

Regarding SF, Cali pretty much covered all that is good to do in Frisco. If you feel like a drive Yosemite or down the coast to Monterey are both beautiful. San Diego is a great city, great weather. The Zoo is great, better than Brookfield IMO (SD Zoo does not have dolphins because Sea World is 5 miles away) A few things to check out in SD. The USS Midway (Aircraft Carrier, plane and all) is now a mueseum and is tied up @ Broadway Pier Downtown. Across the Bay to Coronado, you have The Hotel Del Coronado, great place for a dinner or drink, esp. @ night for the sunset. (You may even see U S Navy Seals training on the beach). If you go to Tijuana, its mainly a tourist trap, go farther down to Rosarita for truer Mexican experience. If you have young kids Lego Land is 20 minutes North. 15 minutes North is La Jolla, they have a great view of the Pacific good restuarants , shops etc... Los Angeles is 2 hours North by car w/no traffic ( 3 hrs plus w/traffic), there you have all the Hollywood stuff, Universal Studios, Walk of Fame, etc... Disneyland and Disneys California Adventure are about 1 hr and 15 minutes North. Petco is pretty cool my son and I will be in town for all the games , coming down from LA.
