Loved the hidden treasures

This was a perfect mix of hiking and exploring hidden treasures in the. area. We were staying just north of San Diego and chose to open 1 envelope per day. The mix of activities was perfect.

A Great Trip with Excellent Recommendations regarding Food and Drink

This was such a great trip, that we went back for a 2nd day. We went back to Barefoo Coffee Roasters - it was awesome! We also went back to Craft Coast Beer & Tacos twice. All of the recommendations were first rate and such a fun trip to places we never would have gone to on our own.
