Is it consensus opinion around here that it's better to go in July/August than April?
Thanks everyone for all of your comments, btw!

Amno, I've been there at all times of the year and had a great experience. But for my money, July/August is where it's at. Mission Beach/Pacific Beach are just insane fun. The water's kinda chilly, but you get used to that.
My first trip there with kids, they were three years older than your kids 13-10, I couldn't drag them away from the beach. Also, history buff that you are you may be interested in Mt Soledad Memorial. It's a tribute to WWII, Korea and Nam veterans in the area. It's uncanny in it's stately beauty. I wanted to stay there all day.
On Mission Beach (756 Ventura Pl.) there is a little taco shop called Maria's. She makes the best breakfast burrito on the beach. For $5 it feeds two adults. She makes the best dinner burritos too. I always eat cheap out there cause I'd rather spend money on good accommodations.
