I always think “when this is over, I’ll have so much free time.”
And then the next thing happens.
It’s a good thing. Truth be told, I love being busy.
Vegas got the best birthday present ever this year – season tickets to the Padres. She basically has the best wife ever. Ahem.
…
Some days I think I am certifiable.
Side note: Bat-shit crazy is actually the name of the group text between my mom, sisters, and me.
So… we know I tore my ACL. How about 6 days later I decided I’d still participate in a 22 mile bike ride? I mean… I’d already registered and paid the fee…
Vegas was so mad she would barely speak to me.
Post-race with the awesome stranger-friends who stuck with me through the ride.

I completely forgot I was hosting WIAW today.
But I have a really good excuse.
I’m too busy going to doctors and laying around like this:

My dream job would be getting paid to travel.
Who’s hiring?
Some people are read to come home after vacation. Not me. Vegas and I just got back from a (almost) 2 week adventure. We went to Napa for a wine course, came home for a bit, and then headed out again to Vegas for my first NASCAR race, then to see Antelope Canyon in AZ, and lastly to Phoenix for Padres Spring Training.
It’s a lot to recap, but I wanted to quickly share some Antelope Canyon highlights.

Grapefruit is one of my favorite accent flavors.
No, not just with vodka…
I’ve done a lot of breakfast recipes with grapefruit, but I decided to go savory with this one.
It may sound strange, but after seeing similar items on a few menus around town I decided to create a grapefruit and scallop dish. And oh man, was it good!
…
Vegas is an expert at teaching me a lesson in “never say never.”
Marriage, camping… NASCAR.
We’re on an epic camping trip right now. And by camping, I mean “glamping.” We have an RV complete with stove, shower, and toilet. Just my speed.
We started in Vegas for the NASCAR, and we’ll end in Phoenix for a few Padres spring training games. Today we’re in Page, AZ to see Antelope Canyon. This is the view I woke up to:
…
I tasted over 60 wines in 2 days.
I didn’t swallow. TWSS
Vegas and I ran off to Napa to take a wine course. It was amazing and crazy. I’ve never tasted so much wine without a drinking a single sip.
Our last day there was meant for fun though – we visited 4 of the best wineries I’ve been to!
…
Can I have a Wordless WIAW?
Who am I kidding… I never shut up.
Yesterday I completed San Diego’s 5 Peak Challenge. It was such a beautiful hike; I wish I could just post 20 pictures today! That’s a little boring, I know. Plus the challenge is a fun background story!
I hiked the first two peaks alone on Tuesday and again on Saturday with friends. Yesterday I did the final three alone. Well, alone with the company of a few podcasts.
