San Diego, California is the 8th largest city in the U.S. and second largest city in the state of California. With nearly 1.4 million residents, San Diego is certainly a major metropolis, but in a lot of ways offers the charm and accessibility of a city that could be much smaller. Often referred to as 'the birthplace of California', San Diego has a lot of history and much of this Spanish colonial history is on display at Old Town and Mission San Diego. Known for its amazing climate and natural deep-water harbor and beaches, San Diego is the home to the U.S. Navy's Pacific Command, so it is not unusual to see a flurry of ships and planes in the area. San Diego offers some of the best attractions in all of California, especially for families. With SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Balboa Park, and Ocean Beach, San Diego is a Mecca for children. The natural beauty of the area is exemplified by Torrey Pines, La Jolla and the many beaches that stretch all the way to the Mexican Border.
