We all take things for granted. Here is San Diego, it's especially easy to take for granted the simple pleasure of being outside—feeling the sun on your face, the wind in your hair as you drive with the windows down. It's a big beautiful world out there and San Diegans just so happen to live in a particularly beautiful corner of it. This is the time of year we most enjoy family and friends as the season calls for memorable traditions: outdoor entertaining, the beach, sunsets. A year passes by too quickly to ever forget the smells and sounds of summer so take a step back, and take it all in.
