The king of all Hallmark holidays is upon us!! Valentine’s day is fast approaching and if you’re like me… you probably still haven’t planned the memorable love-fest for you and yours this weekend…whoops. Whether the cliche lovey-dovey, hand-holding, romantic evening makes you swoon or want to lose your lunch; there are quite a few fun [and interesting] events happening all around San Diego.
While I was searching for the best activities for this weekend I realized that I actually had no idea how or why Valentine’s day began… and apparently the act of giving gifts to loved ones didn’t start with St. Valentine, but rather in Ancient Rome to honor Juno. Juno was known to the Romans as the Queen of Roman Gods and Goddesses as well as Goddess of Women and Marriage. Interesting huh? Now you have a little fun-fact to impress your beau this Sunday!

The weather so far this week here in San Diego (all the way up to LA in fact) has been very uncharacteristic of Southern California! It’s obvious that we as Californians are NOT prepared for this unusual weather as I have seen numerous leaking buildings, flooded streets, fender benders, and lots of complainers!! To those who can’t seem to cope with the rain I ask you, “Do you cry in the shower?!” OF COURSE NOT! There are plenty of fun indoor activities to do in San Diego… you just have to look for them! Well, look no further because I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite rainy day activities for you here!
Now dig out your umbrella, dust off your rain boots, and get out there and enjoy SAN DIEGO!
