Your guide to Labor Day Weekend in San Diego
The end of summer is approaching fast, and most of us are scrambling around trying to catch the last rays of sunshine before the not-so-treacherous San Diego Winter arrives. Luckily for us San Diegans, our winter is just slightly cooler summer, but we still want to hold on to those summer feelings. Yet before we embark the long, colder months ahead, we all have one last hurrah to celebrate before we say ado to the summer.
