San Diego in May
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
San Diego is such a beautiful city with so much to see and so much to do!
It’s May, and you’ll find tons of things to do in the beautiful city of San Diego! Winter rains will be hopefully a thing of the past, and that June Gloom won’t start at the beaches until later in the year. Summer vacation season isn’t here yet, but we can feel the beginning of it with the warmer weather and longer days. Bonus, the tourist attractions are less busy than they will be in the coming month.
During May, you can join San Diegans to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (May 5) in Old Town or take Mom out for a day she will love at one of the notable restaurants. On the last Monday of the month, summer kicks off with the three-day Memorial Day weekend! ????????
Each month I have special fun events I want to show you so that you get the most out of this beautiful city!
