San Diego

We spent 5 nights in San Diego back in December. We love this city for so many reasons: Gaslamp Quarter for its fancy restaurants and Victorian architecture, Old Town San Diego for its Mexican food, historic sites and colorful shops, Coronado Island for its iconic bridge, downtown and views of San Diego skyline.

Each neighborhood is different than the other and has its own history to it.
