Dan,
At the Wild Animal Park, we rode on a 'Photo Safari', a 5 ton
truck thru the animal enclosures. It has turned into a 'feed the
giraffes and hippos' outing, but is still interesting to see even the
3rd time around.
Shelter Island has some good views of the downtown across the
harbor and part of Coronado Island. Lots of boats too! The cruise
ships negotiate the channel in the early AM and PM, sometimes carriers
too. Humphry's has a Jazz Brunch on Sundays.
LaJolla cove with bird rock is photogenic, but better for your
wife's shopping. South of there, Pacific Beach is interesting and
Torre Pines State Park north of LaJolla is better yet for photographic
opportunities.
We enjoyed touring the aircraft carrier Midway, now a Museum in
downtown San Diego. May bring back some old memories for you. We
like the Fish Market restaurant a few doors south of there. We also
ate in Seaport Village. Both areas offer an overlook of the harbor
and carriers.
We also ate at Dakotas on the north end of the Gaslight district.
I love the lighthouse and view from the end of Point Loma. That
is my favorite spot.
Regards, Bob S.
