The Worst Mistake I ever made

The wife and I just came back from a vacation to my home town in Victoria to see my parents and I realize now that moving away from there 7 years ago was probably the biggest mistake I have ever made. As these pictures show Victoria is on beautiful ocean backdrop and surrounded by green grassy yards and colorful spring blooming trees. Too walk away from this I must have been out of my mind. No to say that moving to Calgary was not beneficial to us, we are financially well off better than before but for piece of mind just look at those pics! And we went on a trip up to Nanaimo and I must say the trip up island was nice to not have rocks flying up at the windshield like there is in Calgary. In Calgary everyone has broken windshields from rocks lying on the road from the winter sanding trucks. BRUTAL! In my mind.

Walking along the breakwater I realized right away what we were missing. The blue of the ocean or the brown of Calgary. My mind is made up to go back home as soon as possible. Hopefully within a year.

It is pretty tough not be able go for a walk year round or play sports outside with an environment like this. It is just awe inspiring! And I had all this and walked away from it all. What was I thinking? Anyway I have made it my goal to get back as fast as I can to Victoria as I realize now how much I really miss it and how much of a mistake it was moving to Calgary.

And after having lunch with my old working buddies I used to work with I realize how much fun I used to have here. Plus one of my old friends brought his new car when we all went for lunch which is what you can do 10 months a year, drive a hot rod around town without getting it wrecked by salt or sand.

As you may have guessed I really miss my home town and am in a hurry to get back even though I may have to start my life over again.
