A tourist destination, Sunny Jim's Cave in La Jolla is an easy walk down a tunnel from the "Cave Store". We were spending Thanksgiving in La Jolla and I convinced my family to make the short side trip with me. The cave opening makes an interesting head shaped silhouette. According to Wikipedia,
...the cave was given the name "Sunny Jim" by Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz. Mr. Baum gave the cave this unique name due to the shape of the cave's opening. Looking outward from the inside of the cave opening resembles a cartoon mascot for British Force Wheat Cereal in the 1920's.
