California vacations: 4 jogging tours through San Diego

Last summer, I started running for the first time. I’m still in the training process, so I’m always looking for inventive ways to push myself. That’s why I was thrilled to see that the recent jogging tour trend has hit one of my favorite cities: San Diego. After six San Diego vacations, I’ve learned that the weather is simply gorgeous year-round, making it the perfect destination for fitness-friendly tours.

Spotlight on San Diego's Sea World and Legoland Water Park

It’s not every day that you can dine on a buffet of chicken dijon and beef bourguignon while watching a killer whale do tricks right beside you. Yet, “Dine with Shamu” is one of the many latest attractions San Diego vacations has recently unveiled to mesmerize families. Thirty miles north, the often overlooked Wild Animal Park has introduced hot air balloon rides, giving guests a bird’s-eye view of the lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and other animals in safari style. Then there’s the new water park at nearby Legoland.

Discovering the sea and sun in La Jolla

Living so close to San Diego means it's often our pick for a California vacation weekend getaway. It offers the best combination of our family favorites: theme parks, golf, beach, zoos and museums, and delicious food. But we recently expanded our list of beach vacations to include the northern San Diego county, seaside village of La Jolla. During our stay, we found an wide range of activities to spice up the next few excursions we plan.
