Things To Do In San Diego: Friday, April 3-Sunday, April 5, 2015

We didn't quite get as much time with Nova this first week of spring break as planned, but we made the best of it. We had an awesome day at the beach on Tuesday with some of her classmates and my nieces, and today we spent the afternoon by the pool of Harrah's SoCal Resort, where my parents are having a staycation to celebrate their 45th Anniversary. If you recall, my dad was very near death at Christmas, so that this weekend is so awesome for them is no small miracle of science and medicine. Darren and I also had some fun at Punch Brothers on Wednesday night, and TV On The Radio was almost a disappointment due to a photo pass snafu, but I made the best of it, hung out with my dear friend Mike Down, and after the show we hung out with his body Jaleel of TVoTR. So no complaints. This weekend should be a great one with family and friends and plenty of cool shows to keep you entertained. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.
