<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOn the way back to return the car, we stopped to watch the sunset at the manmade Mission Bay part of Mission Bay Park<\/strong> where kayaks, jet skis, sailboats were enjoying the last light of the day in the calm backwaters along with hikers, joggers on the bayside paths. A perfect end to our weekend in San Diego! Now, it was time to head home!<\/p>\n\n\n\nSunset at Mission Bay <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>If you have a few more days<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere is plenty to do in San Diego if you have a few more days or spending more than a weekend — from world-class golf, catching a game at the Ballpark<\/strong>, visiting LegoLand<\/strong> or Seaworld<\/strong> to visiting a Safari park that makes you wonder if you are in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you have time or rather make some time to take a ferry over to Coronado to experience the fine sand, the mica in the sand catches the sun’s rays and turn silver. You can stay at the historic Hotel del Coronado<\/strong> or just stop by for a visit to stroll along the tree-lined boulevards and eat at one of the cafes in the quaint town center.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere is world-class golf at some of the famous greens around the area like the Torrey Pines Golf course<\/strong> and Arnold Palmer signature course at the Park Hyatt Aviara<\/strong>. You should visit the Old Town, it is called the Birthplace of California since the earliest settlers and explorers called it home. You can browse through the many stores here for colorful Mexican collectibles and enjoy some fresh tortillas in one of the many restaurants that line San Diego Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe San Diego Zoo Safari Park<\/strong> is another must-visit! It didn’t start out as a tourist attraction, the safari park actually began as a conservation facility. Dozens of endangered species have been bred at the park and re-introduced into the wild. Fees from your visits help them continue that work. If you just do the minimum, it takes 1.5 to 2 hours to go in, walk to the tram, ride it and go straight back out. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Safari Park is about a 45-minute drive from central San Diego. All of that means you need to leave wherever you are in San Diego at least 3 hours before the Safari Park closes. We have been here during our previous trips and didn’t make it this time around. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park covers 1,800 acres, and there’s plenty to do and see. Check the daily schedules when you arrive to be sure you don’t miss anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have a Nairobi Village and take the Africa Tram where you may see deer and antelopes, giraffes, several kinds of rhinoceros, elephants and other types of wild creatures, all roaming in a large area. If you have never been, I highly recommend a visit during your weekend in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
