San Diego

What can I do in San diego during the Xmas holidays?

Me and my family are planning on going to San Diego for the holidays. Can you recommend some places that are worth seeing? I mean places that you can’t find in any other place on the earth. ( e.g New York’s statue of liberty , the pyramid of Egypt, The Persepolis of Iran )

And if not so, give me some really good reasons for going to san diego. The weather? The people?

Thanks you guys!

San Diego has the best climate in the country. It’s a major tourist destination and they know how to treat visitors right.

Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the country. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo. It’s the best zoo in the world and the museums are all unique.

My favorite museum is the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. It has some of the world largest model train layouts.

Also in Balboa Park is the Speckles Organ Pavilion. It is the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world. They give free concerts on Sundays.

At this time of year the Sea World Tower is decorated like a giant Christmas tree. It dominates the Mission Bay skyline.

Mission and Pacific Beach are your best bet for fun in the sun. Belmont Park has a vintage wooden roller coaster, one of the last remaining seaside coasters on the West Coast, as well as other rides.

La Jolla offers great views, great food, and shopping.
Check out the surfers at historic Windansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food and Alfonso’s. Then head to the Birch Aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean. You might even see some whales migrating.

Sade – Live Concert Home Video

$7.55

This impressive record of Sade’s 1994 live peformances reminds us of just how much her distinctive sound combines languorously emotional pop with lightweight but musically fulfilling cocktail jazz. As fine as the voice is, we can never forget that Sade’s backing band are sidemen rather than mere accompanists, and in several of the 18 numbers here we get solos of real virtuosity. The selection…

Heart of Saturday Night

$4.87

The Eagles might have covered his song “Ol’ 55,” but Tom Waits was cut from a different cloth than California’s other singer-songwriters–he suggested a scruffy beat poet who’d walked out of a forgotten scene of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. Waits’s beatnik schtick could get old, and he developed into a much more musically adventurous songwriter in later years, but his second album contains some of …
