Mission Valley condos, San Diego CA: Home, sweet home

You're lucky to be living in your Mission Valley condo in the heart of San Diego because there is so much to do just minutes from your home.

The other nice thing about San Diego is our virtually year-round good weather. You don't need to wait for the holidays, vacation periods, summer, etc., to take a , which means you can take a "staycation" or a "one-tank trip."

Here are some ways that you can find things to do, places to go, and people to meet, and not too far from your Mission Valley condo:

1. Go sightseeing - Sign up with a local tour company to see the highlights and the landmarks. In San Diego, Old Town Trolley Tours is a great way to see them.
2. Be active - There are many hiking, biking, and walking trails throughout San Diego, including several miles along the San Diego River that courses its way through the heart of Mission Valley, and just steps from your Mission Valley condo. You can also zip on over to the beaches or lakes and rent a canoe, paddle boat, kayak, or bike; or take a trip on many of the cruises and dinner trips. The Seal Splash that leaves from Old Town and the Bahia Belle cruise that leaves from the Bahia Resort on Mission Bay are highly recommended.
3. Learn something new - Sign up for the various classes -- some are free -- offered by museums and parks. You can also simply go back to school by checking out the galleries, performances, and gardens at many of the universities and community colleges.
4. Use those public facilities - There are public swimming pools, golf courses, and tennis courts throughout San Diego County. For many of them, all you have to do is walk in. Some require reservations, though, and a few do have small fees associated with using them.
5. Visit other countries - You can do it right here in San Diego by visiting the embassies of other countries. Many of them will have cultural displays from their countries. Eating at ethnic restaurants also lets you visit other countries and enjoy their customs and food.
6. Eat out and stimulate the economy - This keeps you from having to wash dishes!
