Put on your sumemr best and get your baby in to a nice set of trendy baby girl clothes, and pack your picnic basket because picnics at BalboaPark or on one of the county's beaches are popular destinations.

If you head off to any of the city's beaches, especially OceanBeach in Point Loma, PacificBeach, and La JollaShores you will want to arrive extremely early to get a good location. The reason for this is because the Independence Day fireworks shows occur on these beaches in the evening and will be packed with people all day long. Make sure to bring plenty of food and sunscreen the beach will be a fun way to spend your day.

Independence Day Parties & Nightlife

After the big fireworks shows you will also want to head out and enjoy all the 4^th of July nightlife you can. The fourth of July occurs on a Sunday this year which means many people have Monday off from work.. The party scene downtown San Diego will be very well attended especially since the big fireworks show will conclude over San Diego Bay, just a short walk from the many clubs, restaurant, and bars downtown San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarter have to offer.

Remember public transportation will be running full force so make sure to avoid the traffic by taking public transportation into and out of the city center for the 2010 holiday weekend. Have a great time.
