San Diego is synonymous with sunshine, beaches, and awesome Mexican food. However, there are some things about "America's Finest City" that you only know to be true if you're from here. Here are just a few.

1. Our Mexican food is actually the best.

Lots of other cities around the U.S. like to claim that their Mexican food reigns supreme, but nobody can beat ours. Being so close to the border definitely gives us an advantage.

2. Everyone loses their mind when it rains.

Since our weather is always so nice, people get caught off guard on days when it isn't so great. The traffic is terrible and everyone seems confused by the water falling from the sky. You can read more about all the weird stuff we do when it rains here.

3. Our sports teams aren't the best.

Now don't get us wrong, some of us really miss the Chargers, and we also recognize that Petco Park is a cool place to visit. But we've been here long enough to know that neither of them were ever anywhere close to being the best.

4. The baby seals in La Jolla are the cutest.

Visiting the seals at the Children's Pool and perusing the cute little shops of La Jolla is a classic San Diego experience. Tourists crowd the area during peak seasons, but pupping season runs from mid-December to mid-May.

5. Balboa Park is the best place to have a photoshoot.

Not only does it have the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Japanese Friendship Garden, and many awesome museums, Balboa Park also has many picturesque locations that the public can walk around and view for free! It's an awesome place to have a fun photoshoot and adventure.

6. You should stay away from Black's Beach (unless you're into that sort of thing).

For those who don't know, Black's Beach is clothing optional. It's not the best place for a family beach day.

7. We never get snow days.

While the rest of the country gets to play in the snow, we don't get days off of school unless there's a wildfire close enough to threaten our well-being. Definitely not as fun as building snowmen.

8. We really are America's Finest City.

San Diego offers so many different things to do and see. At the end of the day, no city is finer or classier than San Diego!
