A sun-soaked escape to San Diego, with stops for wine, baseball, and beach views—worth every mile (even the ones through L.A. traffic)

We had been mulling over several options to get away for our 25th Anniversary week and we finally decided as a family to head down to San Diego. We were there in Mission Beach with my wife’s extended family in 2017 and had a great time, so we thought perhaps we could recapture some of that magic.
