Creative Grind Getaway in San Diego

After deciding to launch my design business full-time (more posts coming on this topic), I realized a little weekend getaway was important. Not only do vacations offer a variety of leisure activities that are sure to give you a much needed break, they also provide loads of inspiration! From new cultures boasting abundant designs, patterns and colors to rolling landscapes, jetting off to new lands is not only fun but needed for any designer.

First up was some sand and surf! With gorgeous weather all around, it felt like I fast forwarded into summer. My new office at home was still a work in progress, but I was seriously debating about moving to the beach.

After some much needed beach time, it was time to explore a little history and culture. From visits to Old Town San Diego to the Mission of San Luis Rey, every part exuded ample inspiration.

Finally, it was back to the beach where I was one of the very few to witness the actual birth of a seal! The ocean has always been a powerful force of nature with abundant lifeforms. Watching new life enter the world is an amazing and majestic experience!

Thanks for coming along on my vacation photo journey! What are some ways you like to break away from the creative grind?
