t’s true what they say about San Diego: the weather really is perfect. Nicknamed “America’s Finest City,” the daily sunshine (with an average temperature of 72), pristine sand (70 miles of gorgeous Pacific Ocean coastline) and a vibrant downtown with restaurants and shops to explore, had lured us to the West Coast. We were an over-worked, over-scheduled family of four, which included my two twenty-something sons, who I knew would not be up for many more family vacations. I needed a locale that would seal the deal for them, and San Diego, with its laid-back beach towns, abundance of Cali-Baja cuisine and a mix of activities did just that. Departing from JFK airport, the cross country trip took six hours and change, but was worth it
