Frolicking in California’s Warm September Sun
Pictured is Oceanside’s Harbor Days Festival taking place Sept.15-16, 2018. The frolicking, fun event includes building your own boat (BYOB) contest and racing your seaworthy vessel for the win, Tiki Swim with a yellow, inflatable duck and plenty of good grub.
People who live in the Golden State know that September can’t be beat for fantastic weather. If the rest of the world was any wiser, they’d change their vacation plans and skip the summer, opting instead for September and maybe even October.
However, September is when we “get it back.” Locals gloat as they get back their beaches, the peace of the mountains before it snows, and even the desert, which begins to cool down fairly soon.
