San Diego:
Expect very heavy traffic on the I-5 from around Cannon Rd in Carlsbad (legoland exit) until about Via de La Valle (Del Mar Fairgrounds exit) about a 17 mile stretch (weekends too).

A great way to get to San Diego Zoo is by going South I-5, South I-805, South SR-163, exit Park Blvd on the right lane. SR-163 Fwy is the scenic route that goes right through Balboa Park to the San Diego Zoo.

As far as eating and walking around. You can go to the parking structure in Horton Plaza in Downtown San Diego (4th and F street) or park around there. You can visit Horton Plaza and/or walk along the Streets to the east/southeast which is the historic/refurbished Gaslamp Quarter. Plenty of places to eat.

La Jolla or Torrey Pines State Park has beautiful cliffside beaches, the only problem is probably the parking and you may even see some Sea Lions.

Great Malls in Orange County:
South Coast Plaza (the largest in the county, Bristol and I-405)
Fashion Island, Newport Beach (Mac Arthur Blvd or Jamboree Rd, 1 mi south of SR-73)
Irvine Spectrum (I-5/I-405 merge)
The Block at Orange (mostly aimed toward teens and younger generations, I-5/SR-57/SR-22 Interchange off The City Drive)
