This is the wonderful view from the hotel balcony. We stayed at the Best Western Island Palms and they get a big thumbs up! It is at the Shelter Island Marina. 
We ate lunch at the fabulous place!! Probably should have gone back for seconds.
Well, if you have not visited, you probably should consider going for a few days! This is the star attraction at the San Diego zoo.....Long-ish line to visit the Panda exhibit, but well worth the wait.We also saw Legoland, the SeaLife Aquarium, Little Italy (home to the wonderful restaurant pictured above), Also strolled through Old Town San Diego, went on a whale watching sail, saw all the shows at Sea World, and walked Mission beach and the rock cliffs of La Jolla! All in all, a great 5 days!
