A blog about all the little things that make our lives a bit brighter.
We have fallen hard for San Diego, there is always something to do and so many places to visit. Every weekend Josh and I try visit a some of our favorite places. After I first visit to Liberty Station, we knew that we would be visiting often. Our favorite things to do are grabbing a…
Happy Monday, y'all! Josh and I are starting a new mini series here on Slightly Luminous in which we are sharing our favorite places broken down by neighborhoods here in San Diego.

San Diego has such beautiful views, which Josh and I don't take enough advantage of. Point Loma is one of those spots in San Diego where you can't get a bad view any where you go. Whether you visit Sunset Cliffs or the light house, every sight is gorgeous. My mother was visiting for a…
