Hi, my name is Detoxing, and i'll be tourism guide for the day. SD Chiefs, Gadzooks, Buck and a few others will be along shortly to join us.
1. Gaslamp. Hit up the Bars downtown and enjoy the night life. W/o the children of course. You'll see so much fine ass out there that not even your wife could get mad, she'll be looking too.
2. PB (Pacific Beach). Great bars and all of them damn near on the beach. Similar to the gaslamp but much more sexy, it's a younger crowd and no dress code.
3. Beaches? The best beaches in SD are actually not in central SD. Drive 20-30 Minutes North to North County. Take Hwy 101 For nice scenic tour up the coast. Hell, maybe dont even drive at all. Ride the Coaster Train. North County is best for the So-Cal Beach experience. Everyone has a bangin' beach body, you can actually smell the salt water, beaches and sun tan lotion out there, unlike Central SD.
4. Like Shopping Malls? I know your wife does. Well, Within about 5-20 Minutes of downtown SD you can shop at Horton Plaza, Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, Plaza Bonita (My personal favorite) and that shitty mall in National city....whatever they call it.
5. Out doors kinda guy huh? Well, there are great hiking trails in Julian. Small, charming town that sometimes snows. It's where we go when we want to get away from the city. Like Apple Pies? Then you MUST go to Julian. Some of the best homemade pies and pastries in So-Cal.
6. Fresh Water Kinda guy? Well, there are lakes and fishing spots out here, but im not a fishing guy, so ask someone else. Or you can rent a boat and Salt Water fish.
7. Speaking of boats, you can take the boat from Seaport Village to Coronado Island, which is pretty cool. Short, 10 Minute ride across the SD Bay. I've taken it twice, both times we had Dolphins riding with us.
8. While you're there, check out the Midway. Carrier vessel turned into a tourist attraction.
9. Balboa Park. Like Museums? Well, Balboa Park pretty much has it all covered.
10. Go watch a Padres game. Hey, we're not doing to bad this year. The ball park is a 10 Minute walk from the Gaslamp, so is the Convention center.
11. Seriously, this list can go on forever. It's hard to be bored here unless you're A. Boring or B. Broke.
