As I see you are from NM I assume your son is graduating from boot camp at San Diego rather than Parris Island. You will find much to see and do in the area including the San Diego Zoo. As CHG CANON suggested the Naval ships in the area are an attraction as well. San Diego is a spread out city so you might check online to see what is close to where you will be.
My nephew graduated from the San Diego bootcamp years ago and his dad, my twin brother, both went to see him graduate. If you are like most Americans you will be filled with pride, and probably a few tears, watching your son graduate as a Marine. It is quite the ceremony and well worth watching especially if you are there to see someone special as they graduate.
From my brother and I, class of Parris Island, January 1964, Please give your son a heartfelt, Semper Fi, from two old combat Marines from Vietnam. We wish him well on his USMC journey. He made a great choice.
