With Woodwards not an option financially this year Martin did some research and found another mountain bike camp out of Redwood City. So with a little planning, we booked a week-long staycation in Redwood City for the middle of July. I would work in the office all week, Martin would work from the Airbnb and the kids would attend camps in the area (Oskar the mountain bike camp and Alva a yoga and art camp put on by the Redwood City Parks and Rec Department). After the near escape from Susanville, I was worried what a week in the burbs would do to our city living lifestyle.
The good news: after one week in a single story, single family home with a yard in town, Martin and I were both anxious and ready to get back to the city.
We did make the most of the week in the best way possible before we hit our breaking point. We ate dinners outside due to the warm evenings. My coworker Angie hosted a casual dinner party at her house with all of the families. We checked out an Earthquake’s MLS soccer match. We watched a movie in the square. And we listened to live music with the rest of the town Friday night. We also enjoyed the backyard, with popsies and soccer, every afternoon.
Even with all of the activities and fun, we were still done by Friday night.
