San Diego

San Diego is the best vacation destination in California. It contains many famous zoos, museums, great hotel accommodations, beautiful seaports, beaches, awesome shopping, Broadway theatres, sports, arts, rich history, and unbeatable weather. We love San Diego because of the beaches and weather, Seaport village, and this past time we went for the BYU game. While vacationing in San Diego can be exciting, it can also be really relaxing.
One of the most popular reasons people go to San Diego is because of the incredible beaches. Hotel Del Coronado is located on Coronado Island, just off of San Diego, and has one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States, and is one of the most popular. Weddings, movie filmings, portable art shows, and surfing takes place there. There are many large navy ships that can be seen, along with several smaller boats too. The beach is great for relaxing, running, collecting shells, making sand castles, and swimming. This is a popular attraction in San Diego.
Seaport Village and the marina is also one of my favorite sites in San Diego. There is the harbor with private boats on one side, that are entertaining to look at, and many unique shops and boutiques on the other. One of my family’s favorite restaurants there is called Buster’s. We eat there at least once every time we visit San Diego. It is a fun Hawaiian-type atmosphere, that serves surfboard pizzas, which is a great memory for my family. Along the boardwalk of seaport village, there are venders selling shirts, jewelry, ice cream, musical entertainment, holiday decorations and ornaments, and unique toys. Seaport Village was a place I was able to enjoy just this past weekend.
This past weekend, my family traveled to San Diego, because my dad provides cars for the BYU football coaches, so in return they take him on a trip to a BYU game once a year. During this family excursion, we were able to hang out with several families that traveled with us, one of the families being the Iglesiases. We had lunches, and dinners with them, then spent quite a bit of time with them afterward, and found that they are really funny. A common past time was finding out more about people’s families, which resulted in a lot of discussion about the Iglasias’ two sons. One of my dad’s business associates, Carlos, served as the entertainment for us. Carlos’s humor caused him to be the center of attention this trip, but some people didn’t think it was funny. Many of the people who came on the trip were BYU alumni, and have followed the team, to support the school’s sports since the time of their graduation.
The purpose of our trip was to attend the football game and support BYU in their rivalry against San Diego State University. The two teams’ strategies were strong, but fortunately for us, BYU won, and made the trip worth while for us.
Our trip to San Diego this weekend to support the BYU game gave us a good excuse to be in one of our favorite places, San Diego. We enjoyed the beaches and weather, Seaport Village, and the BYU game.
