The Place in America I Would like to Go

The place in the United States that I would like to visit is San Diago. San Diago is the place I want to go to because the weather conditions are mild all year long and and never gets really cold or really hot. I also want to go there because it has a lot of great sites to see and I have always wanted to see the San Diago Charger's football stadium. They also have lots of great beaches to go to with warm water in the summer. The traveling conditions are good because there is rain in San Diago but not too much to stop a plane from going there so I would go there though an airplane. I would take a lot of clothes with me and a camera to take pictures with. I would also bring some electronics that i would need, such as my phone and a laptop to keep in touch with people. I would also bring lots of food and water with lots of money to use. This would be a fun trip and I would also take my whole family with me.
