We stopped by here one day during a tour of California, and I was amazed by everything I saw. This aquarium is amazing. They have everything a kid (and adult) would want to see. All the information that is provided is great, and you always learn something when you're there. I could spend days there and never get bored. I recommend this aquarium for the young, and the young at heart.

I had a blast here when I was a kid. The tours are great, and what really stood out to me was the swimming pools. There are a variety of tours, and were based around how many steps you would need to do while on the tour. For those that want to avoid walking, this is definitely not for you. The guest houses are amazing, and the actual castle is breathtaking. The history behind all the pieces in the house, as well as the stories about Hearst are great as well. I would recommend this destination for anyone.

So I went to this church for years as a child, and as I grew up I realized that people tend to go to church just to been seen in SM. Its rather amusing to be honest. Its a beautiful church, and when I was little I always dreamed about getting married there. That's basically the best part of the church...after that, compared to other churches in the area, it doesn't really offer much more than a who's who of san marino. The Sunday school classes are your typical Sunday school classes, and the youth groups really aren't that exciting. If you're considering this church, I'd recommend trying it first before becoming a member.

This could be the best school in the SM School District. This school has received numerous awards. The staff is great, and it almost doesn't have the feel of a SM school. The teachers really care about the children, and go out of there way to make sure every child has a great experience at school. The whole "money" idea isn't as big of a deal at Carver as it is at the other SM schools, and the kids don't seem to run around feeling entitled to anything. I'd recommend this school to anyone in the area that could get their kids into SM schools if they do not live in the city.

I'll admit, I went to SMHS (and if you're from the Pasadena are, you know that its not something to admit :) ) I can't complain about the education I received, since I was ahead of some of my fellow students when I came to San Diego for school. But, if you're looking for a place where your child can have the complete HS experience, this school is not for you. There's not that much support in sports, which is how people tend to view the HS experience. Its basically a private public school. If you're considering sending your children there, they will receive a great education from top notch teachers, but make sure your kid has something to do, otherwise they will not enjoy high school here.

I started going here once I found out that it was much cheaper than where I used to go and the quality of the flowers and arrangement was just as good as the high end places. My friends and I always went there to get flowers for our dances (boutiners and such) and were never disappointed. Plus, it was about $10-15 dollars less than the other places nearby. Parking is a pain because it is on such a busy street, but there's enough lots around the place if you don't mind walking a block.

I always loved going to the soda fountain as a kid. It was always a treat, and they always had the best ice cream. Then, I started to have a concept of money, and even though I had friends that worked there, I realized that the ice cream treats are much more expensive then I care for. Also, they have a great selection of gifts, but again, the gifts are overpriced (I saw many of the items they carried elsewhere for less expensive). It has a great ambiance and has the feel of a real soda fountain, but when I can go across the street and get ice cream for much cheaper from rite aid, I'm going to go across the street.

When I used to have a VERY old jeep, my car was always in the shop. They were always professional and reasonable in their pricing. They make sure everything is taken care of, and are very honest regarding the cost of the repair. My family has been going to this place for years, and we've never been disappointed in the level of service we've received. Some mechanics can be shady, but the guys at crown city definitely do not fall into that category!

I've received bouquets and corsages from Tommy Farmer and have always been impressed with the arrangements. It is rather pricey, compared to other flower shops in the area, but the flowers always come out perfect. Whenever I went there for flowers for a special occasion they always worked with me to make sure that what I wanted came out perfectly. Even though I only went there once due to price, I was still happy with the service I received. Plus, the flowers I always received were perfect!

This is an okay stationary store. There are a lot more choices in the area that typically do a better job in taking care of your invitation etc. needs. However, this place has a great selection of greeting cards and party gear. You can get any type of balloon, and I've been there many times for my friend's birthday parties, as well as getting decorations for my birthday parties when I was younger. They have greeting cards for all occasions and all types, from the sweet cards to the hilarious inappropriate cards for the "special" people in your life. I only go there for the greeting cards, since the other stationary stores in the area seem to specialize in the "mushy" cards.
