Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, June 20-Sunday, June 23, 2013

I've been on this amazing vacation. It occurred to me that my life has been this strange evolution of road trips...a bazillion family ones in our camper and various cars over the years, and then long drives in white vans starting with patrol camp, then my college tennis trips, then band road trips, and now the first time I've visited a boyfriend's out-of-town family. It's been really nice being away and knowing that my babies are safe thanks to Jake and Mike, and that this site has been manicured nicely by Jeff, and Jordan handled listings for the weekend, which I've modified here for your perusal. I think I got in all of the extras, too, but if I missed anything, please leave a comment or shoot a text and I'll try to update. Thursday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
