Things To Do In San Diego: April 30-May 1, 2014

I don't like talking about the weather so I'm just going to say that yesterday was the perfect opportunity to head to the beach. The rip current was pretty bad, however, so we mostly splashed around knee-deep in the water, collecting shells, and enjoying the breeze off the water. After dinner and homework and all that good stuff, we couldn't deny Nova when she asked for a nighttime bike ride. Since a friend asked, I thought I'd share that we park under the 805 on Rio San Diego Drive in front of Adecco, ride through their lot, and catch the river trail. It's only about 5 miles total if you ride to the end of Fashion Valley Mall and back, but it's a really cool and mostly safe ride (though you have to cross over Camino Del Este and at the light at Mission Center Road). You should try it on a night off from the scene. Wednesday and Thursday archives are after the jump.
