5 to Try This Weekend
Labor Day weekend is upon us, which unofficially marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall. And while the transition of the seasons might go unnoticed in San Diego because our beach days and sunshine will last well into November (I’m not bragging, I’m just saying…), this weekend does mean “LAST CALL!” on some of San Diego’s […]
A Night at the Museum…Zoo or SeaWorld
Ben Stiller is hilarious but, I’m not sure I’d be up for spending a night at the museum when he’s on duty.
