Two Week Countdown!

Today marks exactly two weeks until my move to Kentucky! This weekend seemed like a mini celebration to start the two week countdown. The mini celebration consisted of a lot of beach time, which in turn, makes it very hard to visualize myself loving Kentucky. I know I will like Kentucky, but sometimes it seems like San Diego could have everything I need. On Friday, I spent time paddle boarding with some of my family in Coronado, beautiful downtown San Diego as my backdrop. I paddled around, took some time to lay on a sandy beach, then paddled back to shore. The paddle board session was followed by lunch. I, of course, got shrimp tacos, which were delicious. After our lunch we did some shopping at Road Runner and R.E.I. Then that night I enjoyed a family dinner. Beach, food, shopping and family-sounds pretty perfect huh?

In case my Friday wasn't good enough, Saturday morning was spent at the bay on our jet skis. The whole family got to come down to the bay. We haven't taken the jet skis out in awhile, so it was good to get the whole family together for that. We took the skis to the open ocean and jumped some big wakes. It almost felt like I was a kid again. We even saw some dolphins (they're my favorite animals!!) And, we of course, had the paddle boards to enjoy. That was followed by an afternoon swimming in pool, AND I still have half the day left ! (Gym time..I guess)

So, as you can tell from my weekend, it feels like San Diego has everything I could ever need: Family, friends and fun. Fun is a vague word, so here it will mean great weather, outdoor activities and the beach. This weekend ALMOST made me question whether I should move. But how can I know that San Diego has everything I need if I don't go live other places? How do I know that those places don't have the same great opportunities and activities. 

That is my rant for my two week countdown. The bittersweet reality that I will soon be leaving such a great city and family to go live in an unknown place where I don't know anyone, but that's where I can find the adventure in it all. It's not like I'm moving to Mars!
