This weekend was totally unplanned, but in a matter of minutes I made the decision to go to San Diego for a night! It’s amazing how quickly these impulse decisions can be some of the most amazing ones you make and this was no exception.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get out of town to do something totally random and crazy like this, but this weekend was long past due. I’ve recently been aching to get out of town, go on a roadtrip or something, but this whole full-time employment and real life business keeps my extracurricular activities to a depressing minimal. So I decided this timing was perfect and we drove down Saturday evening.
So what made this trip so fun? The fact that Saturday afternoon I expected a relaxing, boring weekend and it ended up completely opposite in downtown San Diego; it turned out perfect. We started the night at a club on 5th Avenue and ended the night sitting by the bay just talking and enjoying the night lights.
On Sunday, we had a great time walking around the bay and toured a destroyer and aircraft carrier. This was the first time I’ve been on an aircraft carrier since I went to the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi. And from what I remembered, this one was very similar. We didn’t have time to go around to each exhibit and listen to every little detail, but it was neat just being there and seeing all of the historical planes and learning about the history of the vessel. Little did we realize it but this week was Fleet Week in San Diego so tourism was up a little. So our timing was impeccable!
I don’t think I’ll write about how many drinks I had or how late we stayed out because it doesn’t matter. What matters is having a great time with great company in a great place. San Diego is definitely going to get more of my business in the future, I’m just not sure how soon yet.
Now hopefully I can plan another trip like this, but in another country… oh, let’s say… Great Britain? ;-)
