When I found out Dave had a work trip to San Diego, for two days, I was all daydreams of swimming with Shamu and cruising past sprinting cheetahs in my lady-on-safari outfit.
And then came the sticker shock. SeaWorld: $73. SeaWorld Parking: $14. San Deigo Zoo: $42. Two day total: $129. For one person. And that’s before all the “park experience” packages and food. Oof.
So, we’re going to discuss how to do San Diego on the cheap today, focusing on San Diego’s strong military presence and its history as the oldest city in California. We’re boarding the USS Midway, going ghost hunting in America’s Most Haunted House, and seeing how Southern California reinterpreted Frank Lloyd Wright at the Marston House. And how are we getting there? Public transit, baby.
I think I just saved you a few thousand dollars.
