Beating the Winter Blues
January 5, 2010 | Permalink
The holidays are over, the boss is asking everyone to work harder during the new year, and much of the country is heading into deep freeze. It might not be easy to keep a smile on your face for the next couple of months.
Road Warrior has one idea that just may put a smile on your face for the rest of the winter – take a long weekend in San Diego, California. After all, when the rest of the country shivers in the cold, San Diego basks in glorious sunshine.
San Diego International Airport is served by over 20 airlines, so there is a good chance that your favorite airline’s frequent flyer program can get you there. Once you arrive, Extended Stay Hotels gives you plenty of options for price and location.
The two Mission Valley hotels and the Hotel Circle hotel give you wonderful access to the best tourist attractions in San Diego. Opened in 1964, Sea World San Diego was one of the first marine mammal theme parks in the country. Today it draws visitors from around the world.
Just minutes from Sea World is Balboa Park, the location of the world famous San Diego Zoo, home to over 4,000 animals of more than 800 species. Balboa Park also hosts a marvelous collection of museums and the Balboa Park Municipal Golf Course.
Travel a short distance north, and you come to the beach communities of Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad and many more. You also approach the Extended Stay Hotels in Carlsbad and Oceanside. Whether you are looking for an interesting weekend arts faire or a warm, sandy beach, the northern San Diego County coast is where you want to look.
If you are traveling with children, or are a kid yourself, take a couple of hours to visit Legoland in Carlsbad. With over 50 rides, shows and attractions, it is a marvelous way to spend a day in the California sunshine. For a glimpse of life on the plains of Africa, head inland to the Wild Animal Park, sister organization to the San Diego Zoo.
