We arrived at SAN around 4pm. After exiting the airport, it was really clear we weren’t in SF. The amount of palm trees and the vibes definitely made it different.
From the airport we drove to our AirBnB, which was in Mission beach. We passed by several naval bases, and also mission beach itself (which had many people on the beach and people on jet skis).
After unpacking at the AirBnB, we headed to Pacific Beach. We got into the water, and had a good amount of fun with the waves.
After 2 hours in the beach, we explored around the area. One place we wanted to check out is water bar, but the line was really long. Maybe next time.
We wandered to to a place on Garnet Ave called Bub’s Dive Bar. More details here: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2019/07/05/bubs-dive-bar/
After, we went back to Pacific beach to watch the Fireworks. Not gonna lie, wasn’t super impressive.
Then, we shopped for some supplies and groceries at Ralphs (we definitely weren’t sober shopping in there).
After, we went to a Pho place and got some delicious food: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2019/07/05/pb-pho-and-grill/
Then, we headed back and watched some Californication before heading to bed.
