Christine Daguio:

When most people think of San Diego, they think of the sun, the beach and the fish tacos. But did you know that San Diego is also home to California’s largest municipally-owned park and the 6th largest in the nation? At over 5,800 acres, Mission Trails has a lot of exploring and hiking opportunities.

Mission Trails was established in 1974 and has grown to one of the largest parks in the US. you can hike over 40 miles of its trails, camp at Kumeyaay Lake and boat on Lake Murray. Only 8 miles northeast of downtown, Mission Trails can get you away from urban life and it has something for everyone.

This Saturday, May 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. is the 11th annual Explore Mission Trails Day. There will be free guided nature walks, talks and programs. A family-friendly affair, there will be different activities and programs at the Visitor & Interpretive Center, the Equestrian Staging Area and the Kumeyaay Lake Campground such as free pony rides, a climbing wall, crafts and exhibits.

Cravings By The Cove UPDATE

by David L on May 16, 2013

I’ve received a lot of questions about this scrumptiously mouthwatering restaurant crawl, like: “Which restaurants can I try?” and “What kind of delectable morsels can I feast my hungry taste buds into?!”

Well the details have trickled in, and I have good news. We all know La Jolla is home to some of the most excellent restaurants in the U.S., but I’m only allowed to leak a few hints about each of them, because there are ONLY 7 TICKETS LEFT! And guess what? I can get you a discounted price! I’ll tell you how in a second.

Our First stop is a bistro which was recently featured on “Good Morning San Diego” KUSI news, and “San Diego Home and Garden” magazine. It’s iron gate entrance welcomes you into a quaint European like courtyard where you’ll be served squash blossom soup with truffle oil, ahi poke won-ton with avocado creme, napa slaw, and topped with teryaki drizzle, and a lamb lollipop in blueberry chipotle glaze. I’m anxious to try that last one!

Next we’ll take a trip to a popular Northern Italian city (hint), where a very experienced chef is known for making his own breads, pastas, and desserts, every single day! Here we’ll enjoy mozzarella caprese, calamari arrabbiata, and tortellin romano! My mouth is watering right now!

Is it cool if we stick with the Italian thing for another round? Because third, we’re stopping by a place for “friends” (hint) and grabbing a taste of their chicken Caesar, some wings, and I’m really stoked about this eggplant pizza.

We’ll finish the adventure at a popular cozy cafe, that I can personally attest to having excellent desserts and coffee. Here, we’ll enjoy some Tres Leches and chocolate cake.

Wow! Okay, now about that discount: Be one of the first SEVEN people to Send your name and contact info to david@365ThingsToDoInSanDiego.com and I’ll send you the promo code!
This is a highly anticipated event and tickets are almost sold out, so if you want to experience the incredible delicacies of La Jolla’s finest, get your tickets now!

Ramona Blue Grass and Old West Fest

May 1, 2013

During a hike, I remember stumbling onto some beautiful and exciting scenery a couple years ago in Ramona. I also remember getting lost in the dark somewhere along Wildcat Canyon, and snacking on some super cheap avocados I bought on the side of the road earlier, although they may have been grown in Poway. Regardless, [...]
