There's a lot to love about Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's is a nautical-themed grocery store that boasts healthy products, low prices, and eco-friendly policies. And we are obsessed.

For the health-conscious, Trader Joe's offers a plethora of natural and organic products. For the bargain shopper, the store's low prices are especially appealing. On top of that, the store's eco-friendly policies have the dual effect of being more sustainable and lowering costs for shoppers.

It's a bit of a drive (located in the gayborhood of Northpark) but well worth it if you are in the mood for an authentic French bakery.

Great way to see a beautiful sunset (or sunrise). It is a short 2.3 miles from The Cottage. My daughter has run to the top and back and my son has cycled the same route. There are two picnic tables in case you would like to have a picnic.
On a clear day, you have panoramic views of the San Diego bay, downtown, and Point Loma to the west. To the south are the Coronado Islands, Mt. San Miguel, and the hills in Tijuana, Mexico. To the east is the El Cajon valley. To the north is Cowles mountain and Gillespie airport.

City/town information
Here's a quaint town in the mountains that is just a one-hour drive from The Cottage.
Julian is part of the 1% of the U.S. that can still see the Milky Way. Its distance from the urban glow of San Diego’s skies and the surrounding mountains allows such sky quality.
