Stay Classy, San Diego

I'm back from the lovely city of San Diego, California!

I have to say...all you Californians are quite lucky, because I'm pretty obsessed with your state!

San Diego was absolutely beautiful. We landed on Thursday night around 9:00 p.m. Um, I'm not sure if this happens anywhere else, but landing in San Diego is SO scary because the city is extremely close to the airport...literally, buildings surround the plane as you are landing.

Our hotel was very nice. We woke up and had room service (very classy and VERY expensive...oops).

Then, we headed to the world-famous San Diego Zoo. I wasn't that excited because zoos don't really thrill me, but this zoo was out of this world. It was incredible and I had a great time. My favorite animals were the koala bears, the panda bears and the orangutans! The orangutans were SO hilarious. We watched them for literally thirty minutes.

Baby koala bear!

After the zoo, the PR conference I was attending officially began. Over the course of three days I attended various sessions on entertainment PR, health care PR, social media, travel and tourism PR and much, much more. It was all a bit overwhelming, but I learned a lot. I was a little disappointed because the people there were not very friendly, but I did learn a lot, and that's all that matters.

I also got a chance to hang out in the Gas Lamp District which is popular for its nightlife and restaurants. We found it to be very expensive, so we just grabbed dinner and one drink there.

Italian food..yum

On Sunday, we were able to walk around Seaport Village which was absolutely adorable. There were many shops and outdoor musicians with lots of people just wandering around on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

I loooove this statue! Perfection.

I wish I had more time to explore the area and I would LOVE to visit LA, but I was mostly there for business (how weird is that to say?!) this time.

Overall, it was a great trip and a nice break from "real life." I'll be back to reading and commenting very soon! Can't wait to catch up on my reader!

Have any of you ever visited San Diego or anywhere in California? What did you think?
