Things To Do In San Diego: Monday, April 4-Sunday, April 10, 2016

It was a pretty great weekend as Nova's spring break came to a close. On Friday, we went up to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park to meet up with Nadia and my B-I-L. It was a perfect day up there, albeit pretty busy, but we always get away from the crowds by going up to the Bonsai Garden, the Old World Succulent Garden, around the back side of Tiger Trail, the African lookout, and ended the day checking out the 6 month old cheetah cubs. We had to rush out because I had to be at work by 6:45, but we pulled it off, and Nova helped me work the door at the Irenic for Peter Murphy. On Saturday, we mostly laid low besides dog park, and by night I worked at Geographer, then went to the Casbah for Dan Padilla's "first annual final show", and then closed the night at the Ken Club. Sunday was a work day but we still enjoyed lounging around the house and taking the dog to Grape St. Today is my parents' 46th anniversary, so big love to them today. This week has a ton going on and while San Diego thrives on tourism, it will be nice to have the city back to locals for a bit. Archives after the jump.
