Activities

Outside of the weather and world famous beaches and coastline, San Diego has many other attractions including the San Diego Zoo, Torrey Pines Golf Course, Tours of Midway AirCraft Carrier, the Birch Aquarium, PetCo Park–home of the San Diego Padres, the Gaslamp District downtown, and over 150 craft beer breweries. Additionally, less than a one hour drive north of San Diego is the Temecula Valley Wine Country. With over 30 independent Vineyards, including Callaway, Falkner, and Ponte a varietal can be found to satisfy any palate. We are looking to organize a few activities/trips that could include touring a local pharmaceutical company, a brewery (or 2), or the zoo.
