Okay, so I definitely owe an update from San Diego. We spent a long Memorial Weekend at Paradise Point in Mission Bay, which is like traveling into a whole different world. Picture Hawaii without the humidity, except you are just a minute from the So-Cal sun-n-surf. But Paradise Point was great, it's pretty much a self-containing resort, with a pretty popular and very 'San Diego' restaurant called the Barefoot Bar and Grill. Live music right by the docs, facing Mission Beach and local brews on tap make this place a spot even locals will frequent. Quick note: If you do stay there and order food from room service, it's the Barefoot menu you're ordering off of.
There's also a putt-putt course, tennis courts, a basketball court, table tennis, paddle boats, wave-runners, sailboat and speedboat rentals, bike rentals, surreys, and a water taxi service that just started (currently only goes to Sea World, but they plan on expanding to make a Mission Beach stop).
We made our standard stop at Hacienda de las Rosas, a wine tasting room in Old Town. It's run by a husband and wife that actually make the wine and run the shop, and their stuff is pretty good. They have a dessert wine that is absolutely fantastic, and I'll be ordering a case or two when they finally get more vinted; stuff sells like hotcakes!
Also hung out in Mission Beach, and took some time to catch both 'Bridesmaids' and 'Hangover Part 2.' Not to mention the essential stop at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot, our SD trip was absolutely a complete one!
