San Diego in February
“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
–Dr. Seuss
San Diego is such a beautiful city with so much to see and so much to do!
February is a good time to visit San Diego, as winter starts to wind down and before the crowds arrive for spring break. Pro tip: Hotel rates are lower than they will be through spring and summer. Don’t go to the beach though, the water gets so cold that time of year (sometimes) that not even us locals want to go in.
Each month I have special fun events I want to show you so that you get the most out of this beautiful city!
