We just had the best day downtown San Diego with my in-laws! If you’re downtown (and don’t want to worry about driving/parking a bunch) here is all the spots we walked to during our outing.

This is the hotel my in-laws stayed at! Super cute and cozy rooms with friendly staff. They also have a nice restaurant/bar indoors. We’ll definitely be back to try the oysters! They also have a rooftop bar that my in-laws were huge fans of - unfortu...
Palihotel San Diego
This restaurant was so delicious! Everything was fresh, fast, and filling. I don’t even remember all the things we ordered…we went HAM on this menu. Burgers, pizza, bruschetta, salads - we shared a little bit of everything between our family. I will ...
Davanti Enoteca Little Italy
We had to squeeze some fun in for my kiddo between all of our walking and random pit stops. She loves firefighters so this was perfect. It’s a small museum but it restarles my little one’s interest in our outing. It’s only $5 for adults and even thou...
San Diego Firehouse Museum
Our wandering made us hungry so refuel number 2 was this gem! I ordered the little Italy lemonade and as someone that doesn’t like the taste of alcohol, I loved this drink. It tasted like tart pink lemonade! The focaccia was amazing too - I don’t kno...
Nonna + Zucchero
I always see this museum on Instagram so I was excited to visit today. If you want to fully take advantage of the photo ops, I definitely suggest going on a week day when it’s likely to be slower. Otherwise this was so much fun! I love that they expl...
Museum of Illusions San Diego
This is another one of those stops we made for my kiddo but of course everybody got to enjoy! We all got different scoops of the gelato to share but the best combo was the espresso & Nutella with the coconut & chocolate. If you ate both scoop...
Pappalecco
We stumbled in here out of curiosity. They were advertising their Dr. Seuss art so I wanted to show my kiddo. There are so many amazing pieces of art in here though! Even if you’re not looking to buy, it’s worth stopping in to be inspired.
Exclusive Collections Gallery-Gaslamp
We have been missing Top Golf so we got so excited when we walked by and discovered this place! There’s no open bays like TG but the simulators get the job done. You can also play more than just golf. I don’t really drink so I appreciate that when I ...
Swing Social
First impression, it smells so good in the lobby. Like a subtle mix of leather and coffee. But going upstairs to the rooftop was our night cap! We enjoyed some burgers, fries, and charcuterie. They have a huge fire out so even as temps dropped, we st...
