[quote=Anonymous]We have family in the area and have been going for the past 10 years. We mostly just hang at the beach, TBH. It's just that nice and the kids are just that happy there. We stay a five minute walk from the ocean, which makes it easy. We have ventured away from home a few times . . .

Torrey Pines! Amazing views and not far from La Jolla. We've only hiked up top, with great views, but there's more to do there.

Surfing. The water is warm in August. If your kids are good swimmers, sign your kids up for an intro to surfing class. I'm not sure what's available in La Jolla, but it's a good reason to go up the coast a bit. Try Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, which is crawling with kids in the summer and has good bathroom facilities. Your younger one may be a bit young, but a private lesson should be good.

USS Midway. I took my 5 and 10 year olds last August and we must've spent 2-3 hours there. It's a great option on a cool, but not terribly rainy, day as you'll want to spend time on the upper deck. It was awesome learning from navy veterans and exploring the many levels inside.

Legrand. Your kids are still Legoland ages, which has already beens suggested. With a little effort, you should be able to find buy one get one tickets, which makes Legoland a bargain compared to Disney. And it's a much easier drive from La Jolla. We went for the second time last August and it was a blast. It was a warm day, so we included the water park - we saved it for the end, which was probably the right call. It wasn't terribly crowded. A handful of rollercoasters had long lines. If your kids are into more kiddie rides, you may not encounter long waits. No it's not Disney - but it's much less expensive and you won't feel like you have to stay for 10 hours.

Old Town San Diego farmer's market. I think it's Saturday mornings. Definitely worth a stroll. And if you have kitchen facilities, a great place to stock up on local produce and the like.
