The Crossings at Carlsbad

This is my favorite beach to go to!

Moonlight Beach

A bit of a drive, but totally worth it! The San Diego Zoo (which is different from the Safari Park) is also great!

San Diego Zoo Safari Park

This is right next to the San Diego Zoo. It is also a bit of a drive, but it's GORGEOUS. Lots of museums around here, too.

It's next to our wedding if you need to pick something up! There are lots of quality stores here.

Visit my mom's favorite spot to eat lunch when she worked at the nearby MidWife Clinic. It has a beautiful ocean view and peaceful gardens surrounding it.
