San Diego Things to do?

A friend from work has to go to San Diego for eight weeks and was wondering what was available for Swap Meets and car shows mid July through September?
Thanks

 

Look up www.socalcarculture.com

 

nice lists, neither show the King of Clubs event july 10th, one of the better shows in my opinion, hot rods and drag racing

 

There is a great Cruise night every Friday on Grand Ave. in Escondido. It is 30 miles N. of SD on the I -15. Cruisin' Grand, goes from about 5PM to 9PM.

 

I would like more info on the King of Clubs event?

 

Micro brewery tour. I loved the beer.

He can swap stories and meet women.

 

there's a show july 3rd at san diego rods and customs

 

eat at a Santana's, in-inn-out, and go to down town.

 

Jimmy are you guys going & camping this year or is that still on ice .

He should check out the USS Midway Museum. - www.midway.org
It is an amazing museum and tour.

 

USS Midway Museum
Point Loma Lighthouse/Cabrillo National Monument
Lucha Libre Taco Shop
El Cajon Wednesday Night Car Cruise...excellent time. Eat at the downtown cafe on the sidewalk. Great fish tacos
Take the ferry boat over to Coronado for great views. Farmers Market every Tuesday I believe. Check out the hotel del coronado
Drive up to La Jolla....paradise!
Go watch the surfers at OB. Hodad's is fun for a burger but the tourists all go there now so the lines even on weeknights are ridiculous. Great shakes though!
Gaslamp is cool. Good eats, bars etc

Plenty to do!
