GOODBYE WINTER!
With spring finally here, San Diego is waking back up to the beautiful weather it's known for. Our San Diego reps have a few suggestions to help you get inspired to get out and smell the roses.
Speaking of roses, spring is blooming away in the San Diego area. If you love world class floral ensembles, check out these great area exhibits:
- Through April, visit the 600,000-acre Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego’s East County as colorful wildflowers bejewel the sun-scorched desert landscape. Call the Park’s 24-hour “Wildflower Hotline” at 760-767-4684 before planning a tour of the desert flora.
- Now through May - At the Flower Fields of Carlsbad, California, a vibrant sea of giant ranunculus flowers transforms 50 acres of hills into rows of brilliant color.
- Balboa Park's Offshoot Tours provides free, one-hour tours that highlight the park’s lush botanical offerings; the tours begin at 10 a.m. on Saturdays in front of the Balboa Park Visitors Center.
- On April 21–22, the City of Coronado presents the 87th Annual Coronado Flower Show in Spreckels Park. Guests will enjoy flower sales, live entertainment, food and an awards ceremony.
- April 12–15, the San Diego Museum of Art blossoms during Art Alive 2012, an enchanting spring exhibition.
If flowers don't pack enough action for you, spring is also an excellent time to go whale watching. "We’ve been quite surprised over the last few weeks to have multiple Blue Whale sightings, 4 so far!. This is unusual as Blue Whales call Southern California home in summer months, with the earliest sightings typically in May. Is this a result of El Nino? Water temperatures are averaging about 8 degrees warmer than normal.…" WOW! it's an exciting time to go whale watching. See a record of what's been sighted recently and schedule a trip of your own at San Diego whale watching.com
And our final spring tip (just in case some of us didn't already know,) is to act like a tourist! Spring is the time to visit San Diego Zoo Safari Park or Legoland or Sea World. It's even a great time to plan a romantic weekend in a nice hotel, maybe the Historic Coronado Hotel. Apart from spring break, kids are still in school which means less people at amusement parks. Many tourists also wait for the perfect weather of summer to visit San Diego, which, as we all know, creates massive crowds and the hotel prices sky rocket! So get out there and act like a tourist. The just slightly less than perfection weather is a very fair exchange for room to hear yourself think and deep discounts.
