Adventure #4 - Tennis 1/31/2010

OK....so this weekend I decided my adventure was to play tennis. I've only ever played one time before (if you could call it "playing") and it was with my friend Cyndy. I had so much fun (even though she was so bored) that I got a tennis racket for Christmas. I've been dying to play ever since, but I can't ever find anyone that is willing to play with me (seeing how I never really played before). My good friend Soledad agreed to play tennis with me. We went and played at the USD courts. It was such a nice, perfect day to play tennis. Just a little bit on the cooler side for San Diego (65 and breezy) which was perfect to play tennis. She was so helpful, teaching me as we played. She's really, really good and has been playing she said for 25 years! Yikes! What a true friend to want to play and help me with tennis. One time she returned a ball to me and it was coming at me so fast that I couldn't react fast enough and it hit me right in my upper arm. It hurt so bad and I couldn't help feeling stupid and laugh. I'm sure that wasn't even her playing normally either. Sorry no pictures this adventure, I left my camera in the car. Thanks again Soledad for taking time out of your day, especially your weekend and playing with me.

Adventure #3 - Driving Range 1/24/2010

My roommate, Cyndy, invited me to go to the driving range with her. We went to Stadium Golf. I haven't played golf since November. She said she hasn't played golf in two years....really, you couldn't tell. She's a pro. I can pretty much hit the ball straight but never very far. Cyndy can hit the ball super hard and far and where ever she wanted it to go. It was really fun and the weather was perfect.

Me swinging away :)

Cyndy and her perfect form...lol, maybe someday I'll be half as good as she is

Adventure #2 - Bowling 1/24/2010

OK, so if any of you didn't know, it rained A LOT in San Diego for the last week. It was really hard for me to think of an adventure that wasn't out doors. I walked Lake Murray (but I'm not counting that as my adventure). I love Lake Murray, it's so pretty and peaceful, no matter how many people are there. While I was walking around Lake Murray, it's all paved, but it was still really wet. So I decided to go bowling. I went to Parkway Bowl and rented a lane for an hour. I bowled five games. The first one I count as a "warm up" game because I bowled like an 83. Then a 103, 102, 114 and then 121. Sometimes I think I should bowl in a league. I'll have to look into it.

Adventure #1 - Cowles Mountain (1/16/2010)

OK, so my first adventure was just hiking Cowles Mountain. Nothing too crazy or hard....although I must admit I was winded at times. I got my good friend Autumn to hike the mountain with me. We got there at 7:30 or so in the morning....but so did everyone else.

Here's a view from the top (I think it was only 1500 ft).

Here's all of my fans that wanted to be part of my first adventure ;)

Here I am finishing climbing the backside of the mountain....hahaha :)

Here's me and my friend, Autumn, the hikers!
