Summer is here in San Diego and so are the tourists.

This summer, you might consider taking a staycation instead. From luxury hotels to beautiful campsites, San Diego has plenty of options for you to take a trip right here at home.

This hour, we explore how to plan your perfect staycation in San Diego. Whether a hotel bed or sleeping bag is more your style, there's plenty of options out there.

Plus, we talk about how to make the most out of traveling with kids.
