Everyone who attends our wedding will receive a ticket to the Safari Park as a wedding favor.

If you visit the Safari Park, it's great to get there early and take the tram ride. They also have a very cool Kangaroo walk there.

Our ceremony will take place at Saint Francis Chapel in Balboa Park.

Balboa Park is right next to the Zoo. Parking is free.


There are many things to see in Balboa Park such as the Japanese Friendship Gardens, the Timken Museum of Art, and the Botanical Building.


It's also lovely to walk around, people watch, and see the beautiful buildings.

We love baseball!


If you have time during your visit, you should try to make it to Petco Park for a Padres game. They will be playing the Cardinals on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.


Petco Park is only a ten minute drive from the Zoo.

Hotel del Coronado

One of my favorite places to go is the Hotel Del!

It is a beautiful hotel built in 1888. In 1958, Marilyn Monroe filmed Some Like it Hot there. I love how film history is intertwined with the hotel! The hotel is also right on the ocean.

Mission Trails Regional Park
