Spring is officially here and I am making my plans to head to San Diego for Memorial Day. I wanted to see what type of festivals or special event might be happening while I am in town, and I was surprised to see such a long list of community events this spring and summer. San Diego and the surrounding area has some great offerings, so take advantage of the cheap airfare to California right now and go have some fun in the sun.
