We were getting our new routine down. Wake up, make some ice, go for a walk, get all prep done for that days set up. In the afternoon, I'd drive Kate's Ford Escape to another San Diego brewery. We were like some sort of traveling grilled cheese circus.
It's good work if you can get it.
We stacked up some good weeks that winter & decided to take off St. Patrick's Day. It was on a Thursday in 2016, & we bought an MTS Day Pass to get around town to some Irish pubs.
Easter Sunday was another off day that we spent hanging out with a few friends.
It was good to have a couple days penciled off each week. You gotta have that recharge or you can easily get burned out. We had already learned that valuable lesson pre-retirement.
For my birthday in April, I planned a little getaway to Temecula (about an hour drive away). I had earned some free nights at Best Western & cashed two of them in one Monday & Tuesday.
That was another great part of our schedule- our off days were most peoples slow days so there were more specials & deals when you went out.
I found a bowling alley walking distance from our hotel & even a karaoke bar. I also got my first taste of the hibachi grill at Benihana. My occupation is a cook, so I should probably observe some professionals, right?
We squeezed in some hiking, wine tasting, hot tubbing & a casino buffet on the way out of town. Kate & I had a great time up there & would go on to take similar excursions away from Mad Munch.
Using a business mindset, you can really plan out a nice trip that hardly breaks the bank. The things you'll discover & the other small businesses that you'll support make it too valuable to miss out on.
