        @heavygenes gave a nice list of stuff . i might add that shopping for men is not so great although your wife  might like it . Cool stuff out here for kids depending on what they are into.
        As far as breweries there are a ton of good ones , might want to look into the pub crawl tour things they have going on now.
        Gaslamp (downtown) in general is good for sight seeing ,bars  and food .
        Los angeles is great but plan your trip wisely so you don"t fight the traffic , staying central to the location where you plan sightseeing in la is crucial as its spread out and driving alot will take the fun out of it.
        Would also recommend Tijuana if your kid is older than 12.

          Thanks

          yup, shopping is meant for wife, son. I don't expect to find so much….for myself.

          Son is 16 so daytrip to Tijuana was also in plans.  Thanks for the tip for LA.

            Jack, you might want to check out Gibson & Barnes in El Cajon…They have flight jackets in both leather
            and nylon, motorcycle jackets and aviation related items. I'm sure you can find something for yourself
            there!  🙂

              Hi BH. Have to look out them. Cal-Leathers would also be nice, but I think I might not have enough greenbacks 😃

                Well Cal-Leathers is in Ventura, not at all close to San Diego…Gibson & Barnes in El Cajon is right next
                to San Diego, would be worth a look if you get the time and their prices aren't insane. Hope you get
                the chance to check them out.  😉

                  For filson and carhartt Iron mountain outfitters can't be beat. And there's a men's clothing store called Lone Flag in Del Mar.

                    Any Dickies shop in town? I really like their workshirts.

                      BTW I was planning NOT to rent a car for whole time, as I've understood that public transportation in Sandy Eggo is quite good. Is that true? Is a car mandatory?

                      Karen, when I travel from this side of world there… Ventura is like in neighborhood.. 🙂

                        😉 That's true! If you're going to be in SD for a couple weeks then Ventura is do-able. Public
                        tansportation in SD isn't too bad, lots of busses and I think they have trams in the old town area.
                        Your hotel should have all that info but renting a car will get you farther afield.  😉

                          Almost forgot. Depending on when you come in July. The comic con is here July 21-24 hats always fun even if you don't go into the convention.  So much stuff in the surrounding areas.

                            IMO public trans is terrible in southern california unless you plan on staying seeing things directly on the coast.
                            San diego especially is not good , uber is your best bet .
                            Look up the "coaster " and "sprinter "  amtrak to give you an idea how the trains in san diego run. Personally i wouldnt ride the bus .
                            LA has a mini subway that runs from the westside "coast" to west hollywood to downtown but thats it.
                            They also have services like zipcar? that let you rent cars hourly , they are parked randomly over the city.
                            California is a driving state , i think some of the best things you will find will be when you are driving around randomly , drive the coast highway PCH

                              ^I do agree with this, only exception is San Francisco.
