SHELTER ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, CA :: Kristie and I were reluctant to end our summer, so we spent a week vacationing in sunny San Diego where it was 80-plus degrees every day. We stayed at the Kona Kai Resort, where Kristie also attended an ET* conference. The Kona Kai is located on Shelter Island, a small community with several tiki-themed resorts and a popular promenade featuring a gorgeous view of San Diego’s skyline across the bay.
There was no shortage of activities to enjoy in the sun. We had a great time bodyboarding the waves along Mission Beach, exploring the architecture and gardens in Balboa Park, touring the USS Midway aircraft carrier, seeing wild bottlenose dolphins and a romantic sunset along Torrey Pines Beach, listening to a presentation at The Neurosciences Institute, hiking through the narrow slot canyons of the Anza-Borrego Desert, enjoying the expansive view from Cabrillo Monument, shopping at touristy Seaport Village and charming Old Town, and ocean-kayaking the cave-strewn and shark-infested shores of La Jolla!
* This ET, not this ET.
