[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Just thought I'd share our actual itinerary last week, for anyone who's planning a trip to San Diego soon with young kids.  We had about a 5-day stay at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad:

Tuesday-arrived at resort by 5pm, dinner in Encinitas with friends

Wednesday-Torrey Pines hike & picnic, hotel pools in afternoon, dinner in Carlsbad with friends

Thursday-Legoland, dinner in La Jolla

Friday-Birch Aquarium/tidal pools, pool in afternoon, dinner in Old Town San Diego with friends

Saturday-quick sightseeing in downtown La Jolla, Balboa Park Museum of Man monster exhibit followed by playground time, Mission Beach boardwalk/Belmont Park rides

The two things I'd do differently: We previously lived in San Diego, and didn't realize how far Carlsbad is and how bad traffic is on the 5 north, starting around Del Mar up to Carlsbad!  We spent a ton of time in the car.  The resort was lovely, but next time we visit, we'll probably stay somewhere more central in San Diego proper, or maybe La Jolla.

Also, we had a red-eye flight Sat. night--the 5yo was great on the flight to SD (watched Moana 2.5 times, lol), but she slept terribly on the way back, and as a result, so did I!  She adjusted well to the time change in SD, but was really cranky and jetlagged this morning before school.

Hope this helps anyone else thinking of heading to San Diego with kids![/quote]
