Things to do in San Diego on Labor Day weekend?

My boyfriend and I are going to San Diego this weekend. What are some things we can do. Also, what are some nice restaurants? in downtown or any other nice areas?Things to do in San Diego on Labor Day weekend?
Here are a few ideas from "8 Great San Diego Ways to Celebrate Labor Day Weekend":



Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair

Chargers vs. 49ers game

Fortune Labor Day Pool Party

Pacific Classic Day and Reggae Fest featuring Ziggy Marley

Labor Day Grape Stomp



(Click on the source for date, time, and location details.)
La Jolla kayaking in the Sea Caves is definitely one of the best of San Diego romantic activities. The La Jolla Shores beach is very nice, with the clearest water in San Diego for snorkeling or just swimming.



Coronado City Beach is beautiful, and a trip to Hotel del Coronado.



In terms of best restaurants in San Diego for a romantic dinner, these are two of my favorites: Jake's or Poseidon in Del Mar (both on the beach). You can watch the sunset on the beach, then take a stroll before or afterwards.

There's a whole bunch of things to do in San Diego, but it really depends on what kind of stuff you like. The usual touristy thing to do is to go to SeaWorld, the Zoo or to legoland. See here for general list:

If you want something more affordable, try going to the beach, Old Town, or Balboa park.

As to good restaurants, again, this depends on what kind of food you like. More often than not, you'll just end up eating at whatever attraction you happen to be visiting.

Mission and Pacific Beach are your best bet for fun in the sun. Belmont Park have a vintage wooden roller coaster as well as other rides.

Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

North County San Diego is home to the Zoo's Wild Animal Park. There are multi acre enclosures where herds of wild animals roam plus lots of hiking trails.

La Jolla offers great views, great food, and shopping.

Check out the surfers at historic Winansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food and Alfonso's. Then head to the Birch Aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean.

Take the trolley from Downtown to Old Town. There is a state park there that recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. There are also a lot of resturants in the area. Pizza Bella has the best pizza in town as well as homemade Italian food.
