Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend:
My ideal San Diego weekend starts from somewhere in Escondido, where I begin my day with a serene morning hike at Daley Ranch. The crisp air and breathtaking views set the perfect tone for what’s to come. From there, I make my way to Kettle on Grand in Escondido for brunch, where I enjoy a delicious meal surrounded by friends, family, and, of course, Artin, who adds joy to every moment. As the day unfolds, I love to explore the vibrant neighborhoods of San Diego, perhaps strolling through a local farmers’ market, where the energy of the community truly comes alive. The afternoon might be spent on a spontaneous adventure along the coastline, discovering hidden gems or simply enjoying the sun and surf. The day wouldn’t be complete without a drive to La Jolla Cove, where I’d end the evening watching the sunset paint the sky with brilliant colors. As the sun dips below the horizon, I’m reminded of the beauty and tranquility that San Diego offers, making it the perfect place to call home.
Q: Finally, what three words or phrases come to mind when you think of the word HOME?
