Favorite Place in San Diego
Sitting on any beach along our beautiful coastline, watching the sun set. I’m a city girl from London but you just can’t beat that.
Favorite Theme Park
SeaWorld San Diego. I just love the dolphin show even though I’ve seen it so many times. The park has a great mix of thrill rides for me and fun rides for my kids, and we all can’t enough of the sea animals.
Favorite Hotel
Chateau Marmont – from my wild days!
