Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, May 26-Monday, May 30, 2016

Memorial Day Weekend is supposed to be this awesome weekend where we all kick our brains into gear for summer and slow things down and I'm hoping it will be just that. But to be honest, my week has been insane, partially because everything just pushes forward and deadlines get shorter, but also because Darren has a cousin visiting LA that he hasn't seen in years. While I'm excited about a mini-road trip to meet her and check out La Brea Tar Pits, the loss of a day of work means I haven't been able to get out at all since Nada Surf on Sunday, which I left early because I wasn't feeling well. The good news is that I don't feel quite so buried in work after three all-nighters in a row so I'll definitely get my fill of fun this weekend. I made this little Memorial Day Weekend guide for DoSD if you wanna check it out, and tell me if there's some big event I missed in the listings. I haven't had any photo ops this week, so I'm posting an oldie from a couple months back at the little secret beach at La Jolla Cove. Friday through Monday archives are after the jump.
