Record heat! Ways to stay cool.
Record high temps today in San Diego. Here’s a few ways to stay cool:
1. Hit The Beaches
Just may wanna think twice about getting in the water after the shark attack. But when the temp gets hot, the hot head to the beach. Pacific, Mission, Del Mar, Coronado or my personal favorite, Windansea…doesn’t matter. Just head west, fight for a parking space, bake on the sand, and then cool off in the Pacific Ocean.
2. Hit The Swimming Pool
Local community pools are great ways to cool off and keep an eye on the children easily. San Diego has a number of municipal pools, with the Morley Field pool in Balboa Park one of the better known ones. The Mission Beach PlungeThe Mission Beach Plungein Belmont Park is a huge indoor pool, and the Salvation Army Joan Kroc Community Center in Rolando.
3. Hit The Ice Rink
It might seem strange at first to think of ice skating in the April, but what more obvious way to stay chilled than on a big ol’ slab of ice? San Diego has a few ice rinks around town to try your legs at ice skating, including the rink at the Westfield Univerity Town Center mall, the San Diego Ice Arena in Mira Mesa, and the ice rink at the Salvation Army Joan Kroc Center.
4. Hit The Flicks
Most people choose to hit the local multi-plex, and why not? It’s dark, cool (some say freezing), it smells like popcorn, and with any luck, the movie might even be worth the $9 bucks. As for choices? Any multi-plex with stadium seating. AMC Fashion Valley, Pacific’s Grossmont Mall, and Pacific’s Gaslamp 15 are some good ones, and this weekends #1 movie is “Baby Mama”.
5. Hit The Shopping Mall
Let me qualify this suggestion: only an indoor mall and only if you’re a teen needing a place to hang out. If you’re an adult, your primary reason to go to the mall is to shop, which isn’t exactly chillin’ out. And while you’re there, buy me something purdy!
