...familiars please read on!? Wanting to plan a trip to San Diego, and we plan on going to the SD Zoo and Sea World…. And possibly LegoLand.

I wanted to hear from anyone familiar with the area. What parts of town should we avoid—I have two small children, and pregnant with our third—want to be sure we are safe! Second, are there any hotels that you could suggest would be safe, and CHEAP? I’m looking like under $100 cheap! Finally, any additional information you could give, I would appreciate—my husband and I have never been to SD and want to make the most of this vacation while we are there! thanks!
