I feel like I always find time to blog when I'm in Kelowna.
I really don't have much to say. I've had the most relaxing, wonderful 10 days in Kelowna and Osoyoos. We haven't done much. Just beaches, beers, pools, wine, food, friends and family.
One of the main highlights of this trip was the little 3-day mini vacation that Sean and I took in Osoyoos. We stayed at a resort called Spirit Ridge, which is attached to the Nk'Mip winery…what a stunning property. Our suite had a lake and vineyard view, a full kitchen, giant fluffy king bed, two fireplaces, a BBQ, and a private outdoor jacuzzi on our patio overlooking the lake. It was nothing short of amazing. On the last night, Sean and I had dinner at the restaurant at Nk'Mip after a wine tasting and it was one of the most incredible nights of my life. Our table overlooked the lake and the valley, the weather was warm and still and perfect, the sunset spectacular, and the food and wine were amazing. Neither of us wanted to leave.
Another highlight for me personally was getting on a Stand-up Paddle Board for the first time. What a thrill. I can't believe how much I enjoyed it…you'd think that it would be boring, just standing there and paddling around, but not only is it a complete blast, but it's also an incredible workout. If I still lived in Kelowna I would have bought one right then and there. Sean fell off of his probably 6 or 7 times, and I fell off once when the boat wakes knocked me over. I'm hoping we get to get back on the paddle boards before we leave tomorrow.
Back to real life is going to be a slight smack in the tits. I've missed so much school…I have almost two hundred hours to make up before graduation. I'm going to have to start going in one more day than I already do…and working just as much…so I will probably be back up around 80 hours a week. Siiiiiggghh. But this vacation has been an amazing recharge…and not it's pedal to the metal until graduation in December. I just can't wait. It's time to get going on "real life"…and Sean has plans to further his education in the near future as well, so we both have some work ahead of us. But, the rewards and benefits will be well worth all of this hard work, and I'm slowly starting to see that now.
The future is bright.
