🚣♀️
Day Three · Saturday, Apr 25
La Jolla & Your Kayak Adventure
This morning is yours. You'll kayak through the La Jolla Sea Caves with a guided tour along the Ecological Reserve. Sea lions, dolphins, and paddling into actual ocean caves. Meanwhile, Natthun and I will be building sandcastles on La Jolla Shores waiting for you. Afternoon: the famous La Jolla seals, then the Birch Aquarium.
🚣 Your kayak tour is booked. 10:20 AM, La Jolla Shores. No experience needed. Just you and the Pacific Ocean.

Day Four · Sunday, Apr 26
Your 30th Birthday
No alarms. A relaxed morning, birthday brunch, and then the Waterfront Park on the bay where Natthun can splash in the fountains while we sit with coffee and ocean views. The evening is all about you: a special birthday dinner somewhere beautiful overlooking the water.
✨ This is your day. Every detail is planned so you can just be present and celebrated.

Day Five · Monday, Apr 27
SeaWorld San Diego
Full day at SeaWorld. Dolphin shows, orca encounters, sea lion comedy, touch tanks, toddler rides, and the new shark exhibit opening Spring 2026. This is the big show day with all the marine animal magic.

Day Six · Tuesday, Apr 28
Coronado Island & Balboa Park
Cross the iconic bridge to Coronado. One of the best beaches in America with wide golden sand and the historic Hotel del Coronado as your backdrop. Ice cream on Orange Avenue, a surrey bike ride, and pure relaxation. Afternoon at Balboa Park's gardens and museums if the energy is there.

Day Seven · Wednesday, Apr 29
One Last Morning
Our flight isn't until 7 PM, so we have the whole day. One more beach walk, one more coffee, one more moment in the California sun before we head home with a week of memories.
Thirty looks beautiful on you.
This trip is a tiny reflection of how much you're loved. By me, by Natthun, and by everyone whose life you make brighter just by being in it.
