As much as I love Phoenix, it’s always hard to pack up and leave San Diego after spending a few days enjoying the sights and the weather! That said our recent jaunt out there coincided with WordCamp San Diego. WordCamps are (simply put) WordPress Conferences for Designers, Developers, and WordPress enthusiasts alike. We always have great times hanging with our friends at these events.
We had the pleasure of being a sponsor at this year’s WordCamp in San Diego. It was held at the awesome Thomas Jefferson Law School in downtown San Diego! I also had the pleasure of speaking as well for the second year in a row. My talk was titled Custom Goals and Custom Themes – click here for my slides. We tackled some strategy for consulting business owners on how to go about building them Custom WordPress Themes. With an event filled with so many WordPress experts it was truly awesome to be included to share with the great folks who attended.
I have to give major love over to the organizers of WordCamp San Diego for their hospitality and hard work that went into planning such an amazing event! Out of all of the WordCamps we’ve attended we enjoy the San Diego one most! (so far 
As a token of their appreciation, they gave out these amazing custom baseball jerseys that were made for all of the speakers. I was happy to see my name spelled right and to be able to wear this to represent such a great event!
Our time in San Diego ended with a short stop in one of our favorite places – La Jolla, CA. This is a little more north of where the conference was hosted in the downtown part of San Diego. We stopped by the tide pools and I was able to take this shot of the cove.
Before wrapping this up, I want to send a special shout out to the amazing WordPress folks who we got to meet and hang with!
