Entertainment & Activities
Amazing zoo and botanical garden! A must see if you come to San Diego. If you plan to go to both the zoo and the safari park and think you might want to go more than one day each, it is cheaper to buy a year's pass.

If you have never been to Trader Joe's I urge you to go. At first glance it is not impressive - a small, specialty type grocery store. But their products & prices grow on you and before you know it you are driving 3 hours to go to one (if you live in Alabama)! All their products (with the TJ label) are non-GMO and they have fresh baked Gluten Free as well as regular things.
