The year is winding down (that was fast!) and it’s time to contemplate goals for 2016. According to Nielsen (the global information company, known for the television Nielsen ratings), seven of the top ten most popular New Year’s Resolutions can be checked off the list by booking a vacation at Mission Bay Vacation Rentals. Hard to believe? Let’s break it down.
Traveling More is on the list, and booking a flight to invariably sunny Mission Bay, San Diego, definitely counts. Even if Mission Bay is somewhere you can drive to, getting out of the house and spending time in a new environment is always invigorating and helps one reset their hectic schedule. Making picturesque San Diego your first stop in the new year is a no-brainer.
Staying Fit and Healthy, year after year, is always at the top of the list. Gyms are usually the winner here, with memberships spiking in January; but how many of us keep going for the rest of the year? Forget exercising indoors, Mission Bay is packed with fun activities on land and water that will keep your heart rate up. There’s a reason San Diego is always voted one of the top ‘Fittest’ cities in the U.S.
Hop on a beach cruiser and ride down the Mission Beach boardwalk or among the calm waters of Mission Bay. Take in the fresh air as you mountain bike around Torrey Pines or Tecolote Canyon. Grab your running shoes and you can trace the same biking trails on foot. Want a little more zen in your physical pursuits? Head to an outdoor yoga class in Pacific Beach, La Jolla, or Ocean Beach.
Needless to say, we’ve got plenty of exercise options that involve the deep blue sea. Snorkeling and SCUBA diving are great ways to burn calories while exploring a new world. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards for a spin around the bay or the open waters. Our coastline is a surfer’s paradise for beginners or seasoned riders. Mission Beach Surfing School offers not just surf lessons, but kite and wake surfing, as well as stand up paddle boarding. Pacific Surf School will let you book private or group classes, rent paddle boards, or book a yoga class on top of a surf board. Chances are, at least one of these will qualify as Learning a New Hobby.
Losing Weight (especially those pesky holiday pounds) is usually at the top of the list of most New Year’s Resolutions. With all the outdoor fun in Mission Bay, the weight will melt off without even trying. On top of the exercising, San Diego is one of the best cities in the world for healthy and delicious clean eating. Our town has its pick of great farmer’s markets and farm-to-table restaurants, where the food is salubrious, fresh, and tasty. Peace Pies in Ocean Beach, is an uber-casual vegan cafe (blink and you might walk past it) with an amazing menu that even seasoned meat-eaters will love. True Food Kitchen is a popular national chain at the Fashion Valley Mall, that researches the vendors they use to ensure delicious, healthy and organic menu options.
It’s easy to Enjoy Life to the Fullest when you are Spending Quality Time with Family and Friends in a gorgeous location with perfect weather. Spend a day at Belmont Park with your loved ones and you will definitely be living life to its fullest. From a fast-paced plunging rollercoaster, to scaling rock walls, or navigating a ropes course suspended in mid-air, the adrenaline will be high as will the fun factor. Make memories while playing miniature golf, or cheering on your loved ones as they attempt to surf the FlowBarrel. After exploring our beautiful town and charming neighborhoods, you can always repose on a lounge chair or sunbath on the sand while Reading a New Book.
