We really enjoyed this trip to San Diego. In the past we have stayed outside San Diego and used the car for visits. It is much better staying in the city and walking or Ubering around. You get a much better feeling for the city and it is so liberating.
We stayed in a Wyndham timeshare, Inn on the Park. It was a large unit with a balcony. Located right across the street from Balboa Park but otherwise a 30 minute walk from Gaslamp and the waterfront.
San Diego was a lot hillier than we remembered!
There was a restaurant across the street which we used twice for takeout.
We treated this week as a real vacation. The last six weeks we were in places we'd visited often and spent more time cooking and eating in.
We also had friends to visit that we really looked forward to.
We had an amazing first day as the weather was unseasonably warm/hot. It cooled off over the weekend and we had rain on the Monday.
