Lots o' Joy-a in La Jolla
By: Natalie, 11, (aka aly_and_aj_fan)

La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya) California is absolutely amazing! The small beach community outside of San Diego is right on the beach! Small shops downtown offer sea kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving to vacationers! The Beach in La Jolla is family friendly and offers clear, warm water that is perfect for boogie boarding. The food is also great, local fish is served in many inexpensive restaurants along with other food, like Mexican and Chinese. And the many cafes downtown offer great food and drinks also. And I guarantee if you go, you’ll always have something to do, considering La Jolla is only a few short minutes from San Diego, and in San Diego, you can find Sea World, Fashion Valley mall with a variety of kids’ and adults’ stores including Build a Bear, Limited Too, Banana Republic, J Crew, and many more. After going here, I definitely realized I wanted to come back there, and I’m sure you would too!
 

Simply Beautiful In San Diego

Last year my family went on a fabulous vacation to San Diego, California and we had the best time of our lives. There is so much stuff to do that I could hardly keep up with all the activities such as Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. At Sea World it was so amazing how all the sea creatures were trained. I even got to feed and touch the dolphins. At the San Diego Zoo I had a blast, it was even better than what I had seen on television. All the animals looked like they were so close you could touch them. Even the scenery is beautiful because it is in the wide open. When you are in the car you can just look out the window and see how beautiful it really is. You really have to go there, you can’t just imagine it because it is so wonderful and spectacular. It was a once in a lifetime that my family and I will never forget.
