Day 1 - La Jolla

Just because you are coming to La Jolla for adventure and the beautiful outdoors, does not mean that you have to sleep outside, no instead stay at the prestigious La Jolla Shores Hotel where you will stay right on the beach. While there you will enjoy the comfort of great location in the city of La Jolla as well as great dining. Your day will be full for the adventure, so it is a good idea to stop by The Cottage and enjoy a great breakfast of traditional American favorites. From here it is off to the Torrey Pines State Reserve where you are free to explore 2000 acres of extremely Torry Pines. This is an awesome place to day hike because it showcases all of the terrain La Jolla has to offer. After this trek through the state reserve, head over to the Cheese Shop, and enjoy a great lunch, or you can get it to go and bring it with you for your next hike on the Guy Fleming Trail. This hike can range from 2 minutes to two hours, the choice is yours. If you plan your trip right you will enjoy a great wildflower bloom. If you are hiking this trail make sure you don't wilt, bring your own water. After this exciting day in the forest, enjoy the luxury of The Shores, shower up in your room, and head downstairs to enjoy absolutely fresh seafood and steak, a perfect end to a busy day..

Day 2 - La Jolla

Once you are finally able to wrestle yourself out of your bed at the Shores Hotel, head over to Humphrey's La Jolla Grill, the perfect backdrop for any meal including breakfast. This restaurant is well know both in the San Diego as well as La Jolla areas, and is definitely a place to stop at. Once you have enjoyed your breakfast, the next stop is the San Diego Bike and Kayak Tour. While on this tour you will experience both the surf and turf of stunning La Jolla. Kayaking the Pacific Ocean, biking through historic La Jolla, these are memories you won't forget. When you return from your tour you will surely be hungry, so be comforted in the fact the Barbarella and its amazing fresh fish and pizzas are only a short walk away, make sure to stay out of the sun and sit in the enclosed patio. The Concerts by the Sea will definitely be a fun time, being that the music style is rather eclectic, and upbeat. Don't be afraid step out and try something new, remember you are on an adventure. You could not say you visited Southern California and did not have authentic Mexican food, that would be absurd, so after the concert head over to Alfonso's of La Jolla. Her you will have an authentic dining experience, and a laid back one at that. Hopefully the concert got you in the mood for some fun tonight, because Moondoggies is the local hot spot. If you feel like dancing in a lively bar atmosphere stay on the first floor, if not head up to the second floor, either way you will have a great time.
