I spent 5 days, including the 4th of July, in San Diego mainly for a co-workers wedding. We do the majority of our business for work in San Diego, so I have many staff members there and Classic's owners, Ray and Donnine, spend a lot of time there. I've been wanting to go for 4 years and this was finally my chance! I had no idea what it would be like or how beautiful it would be! I figured it would be a bit of a culture shock for me, but in different ways I guess.

I flew into the San Diego airport at night, and was first stunned by how big and busy the city looked from the air. Once I got on the ground I was surprised that the city seemed much more urban chic than I expected! Honestly, I thought San Diego was full of PETA, hemp wearing people, not people driving luxury sports cars and SUV's. The city is full of houses sitting high on cliffs and beautiful views of the ocean and the lower parts of the city. There are tons of huge beautiful parks near the beaches and the marinas and they're so neat because they are huge and full of people enjoying full days there with their families and friends.

If my family wasn't all so close to me here, I could honestly probably live in San Diego. Well, except for the fact that an 800 square foot house there is in the $600,000 price range! CRAZY! It is an awesome place to visit though and i'm hoping to take Chad there soon! After all, Ray and Donnine own a condo there, so we have a place to stay! :-)
