Thanks everyone, you are all stars!
My Husband is very grateful for the Carvin link.

Thanks again everyone

I would expect that there would not be much availability of low priced accommodations in San Diego. You will be there during their prime time summer tourist season. However, I do agree that a visit to San Diego is well worthwhile. We lived in San Diego for 20 years and now live just 60 miles away. We often play tourist in San Diego and we own a timeshare right in downtown.

In addition to the Children's Museum of the Desert, we love taking the kids to the "free" movies. On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10am(until mid August), Regal Cinemas does the Free Family Film Festival. They screen two movies (usually one Grated and one PGrated) at that 10am slot first come first served. We stay at Westin Mission Hills and the Rancho Mirage theater is about 10 minutes away. The movies are not in their first run, but they are usually movies that I don't mind watching. Here's a cut and paste:

Rancho Mirage Stadium 16
72-777 Dinah Shore Drive
Rancho Mirage ,CA 92270
06/26-06/27 Everyone's Hero (G)
Hoot (PG)
