Let Your Holidays Begin in Sunny San Diego!
December is beautiful in San Diego, with highs in the mid 60's, lows around 50, and plenty of sunshine.
This region is home to the poinsettia, the beautiful flower of the holidays, and you'll be treated to an
incredible variety of colors, lights and holiday festivities during your stay. The city will be decked out
with everything except snow!
Need to do some holiday shopping? Seaport Village, filled with an eclectic mix of small shops and restaurants, is right next to the Manchester Hyatt. Horton Plaza, the unique outdoor mall noted for its whimsical four-story design, is a short walk or cab away and features a Nordstrom as well as specialty stores, restaurants, a theater and a movie house. Horton Plaza also erects a special ice-skating rink each December for the holidays.
An Unparalleled Setting
The perfect place to enjoy the temperate climate is on San Diego's miles of postcard-perfect beaches. From the La
Jolla Cove and Crystal Pier of Pacific Beach, to the family-friendly beach at the world-famous Hotel del Coronado,
San Diego's beaches are a truly special part of the Southern California culture.
Family Friendly San Diego
Why not combine ECCU 2010 with a family vacation? San Diego offers a dazzling array of
world-class family attractions. Balboa Park is home to 15 major museums, renowned performing
arts venues, beautiful gardens and the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
You'll also find many other attractions nearby, including the Wild Animal Park, SeaWorld, Legoland and historic Old Town, serving up the most authentic Mexican dishes this side of the border. And just a few hours to the north lie Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, Universal Studios and many other Southern California destinations.
For a night to remember, visit the Gaslamp Quarter in the heart of downtown, home to grand Victorian-era buildings housing more than 100 of the city's finest restaurants, pubs and nightclubs, and 100 retail shops, as well as theaters and art galleries.
