no family on my side and hers are like a thousand miles away so visiting is infrequent...and much more so due to covid.
to take advantage of the usually always great weather we have paddle (foot pedel) canoes we take out into the ocean, hit the beaches, go paintballing. We haven't lived out where i'm currently at long enough to have much great outdoor weather and free time during the weekends ..but there are lakes out here instead of a nearby ocean. and there are lots of nearby mountains to hike and such. and we'll still probably paintball since it's actually closer to the fields.
Cool stuff mate - it's nice that you can get out and do fun stuff. Shame about the family restrictions so to speak (although I imagine there are benefits like with most families!). I am jealous of your climate at times - we used to get snow here when I was a kid (which is only 30 years to be fair) at winter and often at Christmas, but we just seem to get the dull dirge of mizzle and cloud of 40-50 degrees in the last decade or so, which gets a bit depressing tbh!
I can't remember where you guys lived before, but wasn't it still in CA so the weather was similar?
I guess you can always spend some time in the sex pond if you don't want to go out?!
