I would recommend the the 50mm 1.8 with a rubber hood; I think I bought mine from Amazon pretty inexpensively. Get there when they open so you can stay ahead of all the fingerprints on the glass and wear black or dark clothing to minimize your own reflection.

The 16-300 is sufficient for La Jolla, and most likely other areas too. The Sea Lions like to hang out on buoys at various locations in San Diego Bay, quite a few around the convention center, Sea Port Village, and piers.

The Tokina 100mm 2.8 macro is a good lens and currently $340 on Amazon. Just make sure you order one for a Canon mount.

That was an amazing sunset that day. My parents were members at SGYC for many years. Miss hanging out there.

Spent some time along with a lot of other people in the Butterfly Jungle at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

I too have photographed a couple of good friends' memorials. I think it's really important to check out the venue ahead of time, and take some practice shots at the same time of the memorial. Taking some low light photos inside was very helpful for me. I used my 50mm prime to get some great Bokeh shots of candles and flowers. One service had guests write out a special memory, so I photographed just hands writing a note, those were very powerful. Candid shots of people hugging with lots of emotion (done tactfully). Keeping myself busy behind the camera also made the difficult day easier for me.
I made a slide show using Elements and added music, some from the service, some not. At the end of one of the slide shows I added a picture of the Columbarium Cap which was placed a couple weeks after the service.

I know exactly where this was taken, because I did the same shot this summer. If you Google Map Peohe's restaurant in Coronado you'll find this spot about 50 yards south of the restaurant.

The Zoo, Midway, Balboa Park are all great. The attached photo was taken from Coronado, also a great place to visit.
