Answer 1

best summer ever is a trip to San Diego.  I know cuz I live here.

so much to do:  Beaches are awesome first off - so if there's a day you don't know what to do - go to the beach - try Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Cove, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Silver Strand or the Beach by the Hotel Del Coronado - there are tons of shops and restaurants by the water - several piers from Imperial Beach in the south to the peer in Oceanside up north where they have live jazz music every weekend evening.  There are dozens of jazz venues and lots of other rock/classic venues.  Tons of golf in great weather.  Free concerts at the ferry landing in Coronado every Sat and Sunday afternoon - that's my favorite location - best view of downtown San Diego and boaters in the bay.

there's the Padres playing downtown - Baseball by the Bay

There's the Gaslamp quarter in Downtown San Diego - shopping, dining, clubs - very cutting edge and very safe.   There's old town San Diego - see the Mission and the preserved old town from the 1700's.

Zoo, Seaworld, Legoland, Wild Animal Park, Balboa Park - lots of museums, activities, (Old Globe Theatre- Shakespeare festival stage)

two major bays - San Diego - deep bay and Mission Bay- lots of activities, boating, sailing,  jet skis, fishing, bay day cruises, maritime museum - Midway Aircraft Carrier  museum and across the bay the Ronald Reagan carrier and several others usually- antique ships, subs - there's also half day off shore fishing - yellowtail, Dorado, etc.  

great temperature all summer - 70's and 80's

Trip to tijuana, Mexico is a great day trip - lots of tours do this to make it an easy day trip for shopping and a cultural experience.

There's Hollywood, Santa Monica Pier, Disneyland etc - 2 hour trip north to Los Angeles

just an idea - I love my town.
