Vegetable Ambrosia
Crispy Imperial Rolls
Crispy Fried Tofu
Beef with Vermicelli Noodles
Pho
Roast Duck

There is SO much delicious Mexican food in San Diego, although you will probably have to travel a little south of Carmel Valley to get the good stuff. Ponce's is one great option in the Kensington areas with a fun atmosphere.

If you want to try some amazing fish tacos, ceviche, and and Micheladas (a Mexican drink made with beer, lime juice, assorted sauces, spices, tomato juice, and chili peppers), it's worth the trip down to the South Bay to check out TJ Oyster bar.

Great health food grocery store, similar to Whole Foods. They have a nice buffet. Sometimes I take the kids there for a healthy meal and we eat at the tables in the back. HOT TIP- their sushi is very good and only $6 a roll on Wednesdays!

Just a short walk from the house, the school grounds and the park have a total of FOUR play structures for little ones! There is also blacktop for bikes/scooters/skateboards etc., and a little vegetable garden. Feel free to sample some peas and strawberries! Do be cautious of off-leash dogs, some neighbors let their dogs run free on the grass.

Sightseeing
Gorgeous beach and park- walking distance from some wonderful shops restaurants along Highway 101/Camino Del Mar. It's fun to get dinner nearby and then walk over and watch the sun set on the beach!
Parking can be tricky. If you go early or during a week day you might find street parking. Summer weekends will probably be difficult. You might try parking at the Del Mar Plaza parking lot. If you eat dinner at Jake's, the valet parking is not a bad deal compared to the pricey lots nearby!

Similar to the Balboa Park location, but much larger. Expect to walk a lot and also prepare for the temperature to be significantly warmer than other parts of San Diego. The tram tour that makes you feel like you're on the savannah in Africa is amazing. Check out some of the special activities like the hot air balloon ride and the petting zoo.
