We will be flying to San Diego this summer for a swim meet. We are trying to figure out how early we should fly in. DS will be swimming at UCSD on a Friday, Sat, and possibly Sun. We are planning on flying in Tues night, and having Wed and Thurs to sight see, plus any additional time after the swim meet, as I currently don't have a schedule or know how long it will last each day. I was thinking about doing the zoo and Midway Museum on Wed, and then staying closer to the pool the rest of the time. Are there things around La Jolla we could explore on Thurs and during an extra down time we may have? Other suggestions of things to do while we're there? Kids will be 12 and 16. They did request to go to the zoo, but could be swayed if there's something better.
Where do you suggest we stay? Split the stay closer to San Diego the first day or two and then La Jolla or a midway point?
Any suggestions or changes to the itinerary are great! We just know we have to be at UCSD on Friday, Sat and maybe Sun.
