San Diego real estate blog - Peter Toner

It’s one of those early Spring Friday’s when the weather forecast calls for a slight rain over the weekend, but the sun is high in the sky and it couldn’t be more gorgeous out! Perhaps the weather forecasters are just bored of reporting that San Diego is sunny, sunny and more sunny so they mix it up with a “potential” shower over the weekend! Perhaps you have a list of open homes you plan to visit this weekend, and are looking for something to do before they start. Whether you want to call it safe and do something indoors or defy the forecast and plan an outdoor excursion, we’ve got a great list of things that should keep you busy in the meantime! We haven’t been to all of the places on the list, so feel free to share your experiences should you venture out this weekend on one of our suggestions we’d love to hear your feedback!
