TGIF! I’m so excited because I’ll be spending this weekend in La Jolla visiting friends. I’ve been to this lovely village twice before but this time I’ll be looking forward to just catching up with friends and relaxing. Most people tend to visit La Jolla as a day trip from San Diego but there’s plenty to do there to make it a nice weekend getaway destination.

La Jolla exudes the typical beach culture you’d expect to find in Southern California. Sun, surf, and seals! Head to La Jolla Shores and spend your morning trying to catch waves. If you’re new to the sport, sign up for a class at the Surf Diva, known as the #1 surf school for women. Or you can try your hand at paddle boarding. Make sure to stop by their shop and pick up some fun beach attire. If you’re like me and prefer to stay relatively dry, then go on the original La Jolla Kayak tour and explore La Jolla’s Seven Caves and Underwater Park. After an active morning, go for a stroll and head to La Jolla Coves for a picturesque view of the coastline. Then continue on to Children’s Beach for a look at the harbor seals, just don’t get too close! Head to Prospect Street for lunch and window shopping, stopping along to admire the beautiful architecture of the Grande Colonial Hotel nearby. For something “off the beaten path”, drive to the University of California, San Diego campus in La Jolla and visit the Geisel Library, named in honor of Theodore Geisel or more famously known as Dr. Seuss. The campus is beautiful and you’ll be amazed by the unique architecture of the library. Finally, take a scenic drive up Mount Soledad, past the million dollar homes, and enjoy a panoramic sunset view.
Do you guys have any recommendations for me? I’ll fill you guys in on any fun things I do when I get back!
