San Diego

May 10, 2019

Surprise, surprise I’m late to updating you all on my life yet again.

Quick hits:

  • Steph and I travel nursed in San Diego over the winter.

  • I worked in the ER at Palomar Medical Center.

  • Steph worked in the pediatric unit at Kaiser Medical Center.

  • We lived downtown near Petco Park.

  • We found out San Diego has LOTS of breweries.

  • We sampled many beers at said breweries.

  • Winters in San Diego > basically any other place

Ok to start you’ll see a bit of our apartment and how Steph quickly turned it into her personal Paella factory.

Owning a paella pan that can feed the five thousand was a “priority”

The locals told us this was the coldest winter they’ve experienced in a long time. We didn’t consider 65 degrees in January “cold” so we got out and explored as much as possible. Here’s a few of our favorite walks/hikes we enjoyed.

We truly had an awesome time out here. Our relationship grew in ways I didn’t think possible, had a great work experience AND we made some really fun memories along the way. We’ll be back San Diego!
