Weekend Getaways with the Girls

Weekend getaway: San Diego, California

San Diego, Calif.

Must-do activity: The beach is an obvious choice, or if your group loves animals, there’s always Sea World, The San Diego Zoo or the Wild Animal Park (in the summer, they stay open late so you can see the animals at night). At night, head over to the Gas Lamp district in downtown San Deigo — there are tons of restaurants, bars and clubs so it’s perfect for bar hopping.

What to pack: San Diego is pretty casual, you can definitely get away with flip flops and a sundress for day and just switch into some cute sandals for night. Bring a salt-spray (like Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, $22) to get beachy hair (a must have) and keep your makeup to a minimum for a casual vibe during the day and add a coral lipstick or bright eyeliner for night. And don’t forget your sunscreen.
