During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum
On January 10, 2004, the USS Midway made her final voyage into San Diego Bay. The aircraft carrier had a 47-year military history that began 1 week after the Japanese surrender of WWII in 1945. By the time the Midway was decommissioned in 1991, the warship had patrolled the Taiwan Straits in 1955, operated in the Tonkin Gulf, served as the flagship from which Desert Storm was conducted, and evacuated 1,800 people from volcano-threatened Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines -- in all, more than 200,000 men served aboard the Midway. The carrier is now moored at the Embarcadero and has become San Diego's first naval museum. A self-guided audio tour takes visitors to several levels of the ship, telling the story of life on board. The highlight is climbing up the superstructure to the bridge and gazing down on the 1,001-foot-long flight deck, with various aircraft poised for duty. What really brings the experience to life is how the ship has not been restored cosmetically -- incomplete paint jobs litter the walls with the occasional graffiti, the austere bunkers look like the inhabitants just stepped out. Check into docent tours to add additional insights for your visit.

Villa Montezuma
This exquisite mansion just southeast of downtown was built in 1887 for internationally acclaimed musician and author Jesse Shepard. Lush with Victoriana, it features more stained glass than most churches are blessed with; windows depict Mozart, Beethoven, Sappho, Rubens, St. Cecilia (patron saint of musicians), and other notables. The striking ceilings are of Lincrusta Walton -- pressed canvas coated with linseed oil, a forerunner of linoleum, which never looked this good. Shepard lived here with his life companion, Lawrence Tonner, for only 2 years, and died in obscurity in Los Angeles in 1927. The San Diego Historical Society painstakingly restored the house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, and furnished it with period pieces. The neighborhood is not as fashionable as the building, but it's safe to park your car in the daytime. If you love Victorian houses, don't miss this one for its quirkiness. Join the 45-minute docent-led tour, which begins every hour on the hour (except the last tour, which starts at 3:45pm).

William Heath Davis House Museum
Shipped by boat to San Diego in 1850 from Portland, Maine, this is the oldest structure in the Gaslamp Quarter. It is a well-preserved example of a prefabricated "saltbox" family home, and has remained structurally unchanged for more than 150 years. A museum, on the first and second floors, is open to the public, as is the small park adjacent to the house. The house is also home to the Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation, which sponsors walking tours of the quarter for $8 ($6 for seniors, students, and military), every Saturday at 11am.

seaworld & mission beach

I had a very comfortable stay at the Bahia Resort Hotel. I needed to stay somewhere for a night in the area to which I've recently relocated. I found that my stay also provided me some much needed respite as well. Very family friendly, so had I been seeking a very romantic stay, I would perhaps have been a bit too overwhelmed with the family environment. However, that was not my intention so I enjoyed the laughter of children everywhere. Most staff was amazing, but the restaraunt should up the food quality a bit or really lower prices. Overall, however I was delighted with the quality to value ratio of my stay. I look forward to having an excuse to visit the hotel again soon.

Sea World

I liked the location of this hotel but, as soon as we walked in the building, the smell of cigarette overwhelmed us. We did request a non-smoking room but the odor was embedded on the sheets, couch, everywhere. I couldn't stand that my two children were in such a gross environment so we check out right away.

Great location, good service

Anonymous, San Jose, CA, 2006-06-14

The Bahia resort was great for a family. We stayed in one of their suites, which was incredibly roomy for 3 adults and one 3 year old. The room was clean, but definitely could use a little updating as far as paint/furniture/carpet, but considering that you can walk right down to the beach/bay, it was in great condition. The staff was very curteous and helpful. My favorite part was the location - minutes from sea world, and a walk down to Mission Beach and Belmont park (boardwalk type place). They have a nice pool and one restuarant on-site, but it is only a short walk to plenty of restuarants and stores. It wasn't cheap, but I'd stay there again!

Lots to do nearby. Especially for kids.

Very family friendly. However I would make sure to get a newer room. Ours was pretty run down.

Great location

Anonymous, Tucson, AZ, 2006-05-27

The Boardwalk which is one of the major attractions in Mission Bay was within walking distance.

The Bahia Resort was in a great location to Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The studio room was very large that had internet access which was convenient for my needs. The kitchenette with a full size refrigerator was basic but we were without a microwave for 2 days which we did not get compensated for. The restaurant food was not that great. It was the worst scampi my husband has ever had. They were very accomodating when we requested an additional night's stay. I would consider staying at the resort again.

Beautiful place

kathy, Seattle, WA, 2006-05-22

the ocean beach is within walking distance, where there is a boardwalk for a couple of miles. If you don't like crowds, avoid it on the weekends. But there is a great carnival area there, also to help entertain the kids. Lots of shopping available for moms and teens, as well as fun recreational activities for the whole family.

The hotel staff was very professional and acoomodating. We were a little dissappointed with the maid service, but this may have been because we were usually in the room when they came and they may not have been comfortable doing a thorough job while we were there. We stayed right on the beach, which was really unexpected and appreciated for the price. It was truly a very nice motel with good people. The bathroom was a little small, but clean.
