Our first full day in San Diego was Monday, September 9. We happened to be in San Diego during a heat wave, so that first day reached 93 degrees. We had to decide what to do in that heat, so we decided to a Seven Bridges Hike of the city to get a feel for the city

The hike took us through Balboa Park and through several neighborhoods, as well as over seven bridges located within the city (one of which was a suspension bridge).
The afternoon was too hot to do much of anything outside, so Darrell found a drive that took us out of San Diego - Historic Highway 94. The scenery was stunning and we came very close to the Mexican border. A surprise for us was seeing the border wall!
We decided to celebrate our anniversary early in the Little Italy neighborhood of San Diego and watch another gorgeous sunset at Waterside Park.
On Tuesday, September 10, we went to La Jolla to spend the day. We took a kayak tour to the La Jolla sea caves, which was an educational and fun experience! Darrell and I took the challenge and jumped off of our kayaks into the Pacific, which was very refreshing as it was still a hot day. We then ate lunch and walked the Coast Walk Trail, which took us along the shoreline and coastline of La Jolla. Our favorite part of the walk was how close we were able to get to the seals and sea lions along this walk.
For dinner, we went to Old Town San Diego and ate at Old Town Mexican Cafe. We walked around Old Town and then just barely caught the sunset at Presidio Park.
