About this trip

VIEW[{Description}]

Neighborhood

Oceanside is very clean and relaxed, with reasonable and varied entertainment and food options.
A little bit of homelessness can be seen, but not endemic.

Lodging

We stayed at The Seabird Resort
The staff was very attentive, and the services were excellent, although the texting feature of the concierge is not as responsive as I'd like.
The location of the elevator can be a little hit or miss; Because it's not a central elevator, the rooms on the right side of the hotel has to walk all the way around, which can be quite a walk

Food

Tin Fish Oceanside
The Famous High Pie at the Top Gun House
Cosmos Burger
Piper

Entertainment

Overview

We were able to get on every ride within 5 minutes since it's a school week.
The granny fries were pretty tasty; tart on the inside with sugar and cinnamon on the outside.
The park is best for 4 - 9 year olds; There's a decent number of things that a 2 year old can do.
There are numerous locations around the park to build with Legos. This is a fun break in between activities.
The rides are shorter but they're reasonably high quality.
- Mini-land USA is arguably the most unique attraction. Recommend going there first to see it without big crowds
- The kids especially enjoyed the deep sea adventure (Miniature sub) and the driving school

Logistics

Need to sort out the details related to points transfer with Hyatt. Fixed by changing my name in Hyatt to Pak Szeto

Switched to August 26-30, 2 nights at the Seabird, Home on the 30th
