Kelly and I are heading to San Diego next week to visit our son John who is in the Navy. We are lucky enough to have been invited to take a day trip to sea aboard the destroyer USS Kidd. This is the ship our son is attached to. We are both really excited as neither of us has ever been to California and then to ride on the ship. Wow! Hopefully we will still be there when carrier(USS Stennis) strike group 7 will deploy and get to see John off. He will be gone from 6 to 9 months and we aren't even sure where they are going or when we will get to talk to him again.
Anyway I will be checking in from my Evo while we are gone.

Larry - You have to check out a place called SouthBeach in Ocean Beach at the end of Newport Ave - best fish tacos ever - try the Mahi or the Wahoo!! One of my favorites and a must-see for all of my San Diego visitors! They are nowhere near as gross as they sound!
An alternative (red meat) suggestion would be to have a burger at Rocky's in Pacific Beach, as seen in the movie Anchorman. Also a fantastic feast!
Learning as I go! Not stock, but doing as much as I can myself.

SD is a great city that I have been to a few times and enjoy every time I'm there. Definitely spend some time around OB and PB.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think fish tacos sound gross at all and both of those places are on our list. I am a huge mexican food fan and although I am sure SD has tons of mexican places, a reccomendation from a local would be appreciated.
Kelly started packing last night!!

My suggestions for SD are Sea Port Village (unique shopping), Balboa Park (great museums), a drink at the beach bar at the Hotel Del Coronado (you can't afford much else there), and perhaps a tour of the lighthouse at the end of the point near the Hotel Del (can't remember the name).
Also the Scripps Institute in La Jolla.
And if you are there at the right time, the annual Over The Line tournament at Ocean Beach is not to be missed. One of the wildest beach parties I have ever witnessed.

2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
