Stuff to Do: Old Town Celebrations


Old Town is the place to be this Saturday, September 1.

Join in celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Overland Mail.

Saturday will begin with a parade down San Diego Avenue followed by an historic reenactment of the arrival of the Overland Mail. Grand re-opening of the Seeley Stables Museum and exhibits. Live animals, wagon rides, living history activities, and historic wagon displays will celebrate life in San Diego during the 1800s.

And while you are there to celebrate -check out the Old Town Saturday Market.

Paintings - Jewelry - Photography - Hand Blown Glass - Clothing - Pottery - and more... On Harney Street in the Heart of Old Town. Admission is free.

Finish off your day with a great meal in one of the 32 restaurants. My favorite is the Casa de Reyes in the Plaza Del Pasado (www.plazadelpasado.com)

Enjoy your weekend!

San Diego Favorites - Del Mar

About once a week me and my daughter spend a morning on the beach in Del Mar. It is a very kid friendly beach.


The sand is clean, the bathrooms are close and clean and there are always less people than La Jolla Shores. If you need a quick break from all the sand - Del Mar's Powerhouse Park is just yards away with a large grassy area and great playground!



My daughter and I like to go for a quick run with our jogging stroller early in the day, play at the park, and finish off the morning digging in the sand and splashing in the waves.

Parking can be tricky, so I like to hit the beach in the morning when parking is plentiful!

See you in Del Mar!
