Sunday Afternoon Club / Foursquare

A month or so ago, the wife, child and I went here for lunch after church. While we were there, relaxing on their patio, we thought, "You know who would really like this . . . ?"

So the next Sunday we went back with a couple of friends. We started discussing how there are so many sights to see in San Diego and yet we never go - so we started making a list and thus, the Sunday Afternoon Club was born.

So what's on the list?:

-Concert @ La Jolla Shores Park (2-4pm): Possibly swimming and wine on the hotel roof @ sunset
-Zoo
-Old Town / Wine & Sandwiches @ Presidio Park
-Hike to swim
-Pool day
-Dog beach / Hibachi cook-out
-Frisbee golf / possibly swimming @ the Morley Park pool
-Swimming at the Hyatt downtown / coffee at Upstart Crow
-Wine steals (again)
-Hotel Del Coronado
-Lawn bowling @ Balboa Park / Mint Juleps?
-Wine / Sandwiches at Mission de Alcala
-Temecula wine tasting
-Getty
-Solana beach
-Top of the Hyatt
-Soak City
-Disneyland
-Knotts
-Magic Mountain
-Lego Land
(Bocce of course combined with just about any of these)

Of course, some of these are not in San Diego per se and some would require an entire day instead of an afternoon but it's great to get out with friends and change it up on a regular basis.

Which brings me to Foursquare.

I have been hearing about Foursquare every day for months and I finally broke down and checked it out. Basically, your phone's GPS recognizes your location and you can "check in". For instance, you may be at a favorite restaurant - whip out your phone, push a button, and everyone in your circle sees that you have "checked in" to that restaurant. You can also leave reviews and recommendations.

The idea is that you and your friends can share favorite places around town - its a pooling of local knowledge with those close to you.

Naturally, once I signed up I discovered that no one I know in San Diego is signed up with Foursquare.

So here is a plea to all my smart-phone buddies in SD - check out Foursquare- sign up if it interests you and let's share our favorite SD sights and places!
