Perfect occasion to bring your dad to? ;)

LAX to San Diego, the ocean side view is on your right hand side, enjoy!

I'll be taking the train up from San Diego and then the train down afterwards. Anyone want to join me? I created a facebook group that anyone can join. I've also Tweeted about the event. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=160007084054123

It's a tossup. I've seen the lot completely full, but since you're smack dab in the middle of Downtown Fullerton, there are a lot of places to park if that lot is full. Have fun, doing a FUL <-> SAN this weekend to go home and see the girlfriend
