The National Association of Realtors is having their annual convention in our hometown of San Diego this week.
For those of you that will be attending and visiting our awesome city, we wanted to make sure we took care of you and gave you our best recommendations for things to do and see while you’re here.
We really run the gamut in this episode; from the best food to the most colorful nightlife. From places to drink to places to work out. We even tell you some places off the beaten path and let you know where and what to avoid.
Listen in to get all the specifics.
