Although those of us who live in San Diego know how blessed we are to be here, the stress of daily life can get to us too. Whether it’s a bad week at work or intense traffic piling up on the way home, it is sometimes easy to forget how lucky we are to live in this little paradise by the sea. So how can you de-stress after a long week working in the city when there isn’t enough time to go on vacation?

Well, why not treat this city that 34 million people visit on holiday a year as YOUR vacation? We call it a “staycation”! Instead of going home and sticking to your normal routine, try booking a hotel somewhere you’ve never stayed in San Diego. Try out some of their restaurants, go swimming in the pool, or even get a back massage! Pretend like you’re on vacation without ever having to get on a plane.
