Exactly. mid-60's; I think the myth is that it's always warmer than that--around the low 80's, and that we practically live at the beach because of the weather. In reality we can have an active outdoor lifestyle because it's just right--just not in the water! Of course, Coronado has the coastal weather pattern :)
So, I've burned my 3 posts today on San Diego weather. Must be a nice life these days with nothing better to post about.
