San Diego, CA - Hyatt Regency Mission Bay on Points, Waterslides, Beach, SeaWorld, USS Midway and Pool Towel Drama!

Kelsey chats with Jen (@diveintopoints on Instagram) from Wisconsin, who lives on a hobby farm with her husband and three kids (a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old twin boys). Jen, her family, and her parents headed to San Diego in October 2025 staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, booked on points.In this episode, Jen shares about the waterslides and pools their kids couldn’t get enough of, plus beach time at Mission Beach, beautiful sunset views, and their favorite moments at SeaWorld and aboard the USS Midway. Quick note: our connection dropped at the very end of recording, so Jen’s answer to the final Trip Tales question is here in the show notes. If someone out there is considering this trip, what is it about San Diego and the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay that would make you say: Just Book It? I'd say just book it because you can't beat an easy trip to soak up the sunshine, slip down waterslides and enjoy a family friendly resort. Kids grow up too fast to not take the trip! -JenThis episode is now available to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kelseygravesIf you’d like to share about your trip on the podcast, email me at: [email protected] Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879Mentioned in this episode:- Link to the inflatable travel bed: https://amzlink.to/az0wCGVzlVgpS- Link to inflatable booster seat: https://amzlink.to/az0xDyfGJ0mGH- Link to collapsible beach toys: https://amzlink.to/az0f5UVVALIq8- Points and Miles, Delta and Hyatt- Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, Guest of Honor- USS Midway- Kids Free San Diego in October- Flytographer- Tecolote Playground- Mission Beach- Sea World: Dolphins, Orcas, Sea Lions- Red Marlin restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Mission BayTrip Tales is a travel podcast sharing real vacation stories and trip itineraries for family travel, couples getaways, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts.
