    Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Coming up next week I fly to Las Vegas to explore the Valley of Fire & Bryce Canyon 🔥 Make sure you hit that notifications bell to stay in the loop! 🔔 Otherwise, what was your favorite part of this video? That boogie board scene was pretty ridiculous, right? 😂

    Man, you really get San Diego. You do SD like locals do. We have nightlife like any big city, but San Diego is really a daytime town if you want to make the most of it. Take advantage of things you can't do in most cities and the amazing weather. I also appreciate how you don't yell into the camera trying to amp up the video.

    Actually, Cowles Mountain is pronounced with a long vowel "O" sound...properly KOHLZ...named after George A. Cowles, who was a rancher, farmer, and businessman here in the 1870s-80s. Orginally from the East Coast, Cowles moved to San Diego, expanded his fortune and became known as the “Raisin King of the US.”
