We took a 4 day trip to San Diego on our 17th Anniversary weekend. I took a day off on Valentine’s Day and on Friday we flew early to San Diego. The layover was in Chicago for three hours before we arrived around 3:30. We took a taxi to the Marriott Marquis Hotel and that night just had dinner at the hotel. We had appetizers and two glasses of red wine. Aiden was exhausted by 7 so he slept around 8 and we went to be shortly thereafter. The next day, we went for a long walk to Balboa Park and saw gardens and Aiden found a playground. From the park, we took an Uber to SeaWorld and spent the rest of the day there catching 4 shows with Dolphins, Orcas, and Sea Lions. Aiden also rode some kiddie rides and seemed to have a great time! Dinner was at a Mexican restaurant which was alright but not spectacular.
The next day, we booked a trolley bus tour around the city and saw Old Town, Coronado, Little Italy, and Hudson Plaza. We took the bridge to Coronado Island and walked around Old Town where we had lunch. We ended the tour around 4 and had dinner in Little Italy before taking an Uber back to the hotel.
The next day we woke up early and I rode an electric scooter with Aiden around our hotel and we walked and took pictures before taking an Uber to the airport. This time our layover was in Dallas where we stayed 2 hours before returning home around 11 PM. A fun trip and I personally love the city!
