DaVentures

It's almost unacceptable. Seriously? We're making changes, stat.

Born and raised in America's Finest City, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about San Diego. But it wasn't until after we moved to Visalia that we figured out just how much we had taken for granted.

Over the last five years, there wasn't anywhere to go to for "date" night besides a restaurant or a bar. The beach was a three-hour drive away and if I wanted a late night hit of french fries, I'd better make sure I stopped at Mickey D's before midnight or else I'd be SOL.

So... we learned to do other things while living the small town life.  The boys took to sports - baseball, basketball, football or water polo - and Joe took time out to coach. We became regulars at the library and I finally started to hit up the gym. We went on play dates with friends and I even got started on a running kick.

Which I think Hubz is thankful for, considering I haven't done a convention in over a year ;)

And you know how much kids love routines... Tuesday was movie night, Wednesday was church night, Thursday was date night and Friday was game night.

It didn't always work out perfectly, but hey - it was something to look forward to. Plus, it was a nice incentive to get them to stop arguing with me and get them into their nighttime baths :)

And now that we're back in San Diego, we're itching to tear up the town and check out new things. Our goal? To have a new adventure every weekend and try out something we'd never done before.

A Weekend DaVenture. Stay tuned - we can't wait to take you with us on all of our little trips!
