Maybe he's coming for opening day/weekend, to pay for overpriced drinks and food and bet on the pretty horse with a fun name.

I ended up going to the Aquafarm in Carlsbad in the lagoon across from lifeguard tower 30

They started doing tours and oyster shucking/eating last April

Learned a lot about mussels and oysters

Going on a whale watch boat out of Oceanside in the mornings

Full tourist mode. Might as well get in some fun while I'm down here

There’s a great fish n chips place at the harbor, and the Italian place there is pretty good too. And Stratford is a good breakfast/brunch place. 
(Oceanside harbor)

My favorite coffee place is revolution roasters on coast highway. I’ll probably take some work to do there in the morning

The desalination plant has tours on Tuesdays 10-11:30

They produce 50,000,000 gallons of fresh every day

Enough for 400,000 homes

For Mexican restaurants I like Anita’s on coast highway in oceanside (not the one on el Camino real), or casa de bandini in Carlsbad (a bit inland). 
For taco shops any ‘bertos or Vallarta Express in cbad village. 
Pizza Ports are always good for pizza and beer, there’s one in the village or bressi ranch.

Tip Top Meats is a good place. You can get a filet, a side, and a beer for $15. The Big John breakfast is also good but unfortunately they no longer do the unlimited bacon.

Top Meats was a surprise. Steak and stein with Filet you can cut with a butter knife and wrapped in bacon. Had a breakfast there also and it was really good. Prices are from the 1990's. Nice to see the butcher shop and all the deli cheeses and pastries. Definitely a great add to the list

Anita's was really good and the tortillas melted in your mouth. Wife and I thought the food was really good. Didn't realize they have been there since 1973.

We did eat at Miguels on Avenida Encinas by Palomar Airport Road and it was good. They have a lady making the tortillas and you can see here. Good food and they had a bar.

Tried to go to Pizza Port, but it was so crowded and over an hour wait for food.

Thank you both for the suggestions!

Had a great time and really enjoyed the weather.

I actually went on Tip Top Meats website before recommending them to make sure they didn't jack up their prices. I was glad to see they didn't.

Farmer's Almanac declares parts of U.S. 'hibernation zone' with predicted 'glacial, snow-filled' winter

[gotbeer]

I'll take mild drier than normal.  East of the rockies can go fuck themselves for not sharing their water.

Drier than already dry greeeeat

I’d love to have about 3 or 4 El Niño winters in a row.
