As a Native San Diegan (La Jolla) who has also lived many other places in the world for extended periods of time, the lifestyle my family and I enjoy here, is perfect for us. Both my wife and I (who are in our 40’s) work in the very fast paced world of entertainment–film and television–in Hollywood (which, by the way, is where the REAL money is these days) but wanted to raise our kids in a more normal atmosphere near both of our very large extended families. We’re never bored, because we have the best of both worlds, and love every minute of it!
