I spoke too soon.
One day I’ll learn to knock on wood or something.
Last week I said we were getting to some form of normalcy. HA! Till the flaming oven happened… so here we are with a disheveled kitchen, no oven, and some random food. We also have NO groceries since we were supposed to have gone to the farmer’s market Sunday. Fires really are inconvenient…
…
Just when I thought San Diego couldn’t get any better…
Seeing the 30 degree temps in Atlanta seals the deal too.
This weekend happened. We started Friday with a new tradition: date night picnic in the park. If you haven’t been to Balboa Park in San Diego, add it to your bucket list. It’s huge – think Central Park on steroids. There are 65 mile of trails, museums, a zoo, a theatre, and more gardens than I can count.
We packed turkey sandwiches, hummus, and veggies and set out for a picnic in the rose garden. It’s my favorite part of the park. The best part was laying around after we ate and taking in the view.

Anyone need boxes?
Actually, we posted an ad on Craigslist and someone came for them within hours!
The thing about packing that you have to unpack. While a couple drinks (ok, maybe more than a couple) makes packing easier, it makes unpacking full of hilarious surprises. Apparently at some point I gave up and just added IDK to a box (that’s “I don’t know” for those of you who don’t have millennial siblings or kids).
…
It just got real.
Logically I knew it was real… but reality never ceases to shock me.
You make plans and get excited. You know it’s coming and it can’t get here fast enough. But when it ACTUALLY manifests… it’s still a reality check.
Road food is also a reality check. That red velvet Blizzard did not suck though.
…
I’ll never tire of surveys.
How do these things take me longer than “regular” posts?
Megan nominated me for one of those Liebster award quizzes a couple of weeks ago andI’m finally getting around to it. It’s fun airplane project as I fly back to Atlanta from San Diego. The random pics throughout are from Vegas’ and my long weekend on the coast.

1. What is your current health related goal?…
Traveling can be quite strange.
Especially with a strange co-worker.
My co-worker is strange in the best way possible – the food-loving way! I’ve been gone all week so there is no recipe today. I do have pictures though! Here is the best of San Deigo:
Sambazon acai bowl
BBQ Tempeh Pizza
Egg spring roll (I think) at Phuong Trang
Pork and Shrimp Cakes
Craft food heaven at Urban Solace

If I lived here, I’d be 500 lb and super happy.
Do you try new things when to travel?
Any must-trys in California?
