The season we all have been
waiting for!!
It’s officially Fall in San Diego, even though it feels like summer.
We still have a few more weeks (cough,a month maybe) before we can break out the boots and flannels – but that won’t stop us from getting into the fall spirit without PSL and hitting a pumpkin patch with our masks in tow.
COVID is still lingering and the world just seems a little weird, to say the least. Most of us are trying our best to keep the good time rolling and give ourselves some type of normal. If you have been wondering how you can celebrate fall’s arrival in San Diego, during the first
Pandemic of most of our lives – you dropped by the right page.
Here are some of the best things to do in San Diego in October, during a Pandemic.
October 1-31st, 2020
One of San Diego’s scariest places, The Scream Zone, is taking the fun from the dead by
hosting a Drive-Thru Scream Zone. How cool is that?! Now you can get the crap scared out of you from the comfort of your car. Sounds to me like being in the movie World War Z or TWD, count me in.
If you don’t think Pumpkin Patches when you hear Fall, you need more San Diego in your life.
