Things To Do In San Diego: February 14-16, 2014

I am so ready for this weekend. For one, it's Valentine's Day and though it looks like Darren and I will be working through most of the weekend, we had an incredible dinner earlier this week at the TJ Oyster Bar on Bonita Road, and my apartment smells lovely from the flowers he surprised me with. Still, I hope we at least get out on the bikes or hit some tasting rooms or something to take the edge off. I mean, we were super disappointed about the election- the turnout is really more depressing than the result-and we just had a lot going on this week, including a new job, which I'll tell you all about soon. This weekend has a lot of great stuff going on, so give Darren's Van a holler if you need to get around town safely. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
