If your in town this weekend and are looking for things to do in San Diego, check out the San Diego Crew Classic over in Mission Bay. Dubbed "America's Premier Spring Classic", the Crew Classic is the largest regatta in the world held primarily for eight-oared rowing shells. The nations top rowers from high school to college battle it out.
The event takes place all weekend with Saturday (4-2) and Sunday (4-3) highlighting the main days. There is something for everyone, from the food booths showcasing some of SD's hottest places to the trade-show of retail booths and the beer garden. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for 6-13 year olds. Under 6 is free. As for parking, there is parking located in the lots for $15 a vehicle or you can park around the surrounding neighborhoods and walk down. I would suggest parking in Crowne Point, the neighborhood just north of the last bridge and walk down. The walk will be a nice one with the weather expecting to be in the mid 60's and sunny. Don't forget your suntan lotion and good walking shoes. Bring your camera for some cool shots and some extra cash for a snack or drink. Sunday is the finals, so prepare for crowds!

I've gone every year for the last 12 and just love it. I usually bike over and lock up just outside the gate. I have my lotion and water bottle and camera as my essentials. I make a day of it! Check it out for yourself!
