It\u2019s an issue all couples face at one time or another, especially in today\u2019s fast-paced world. How do you achieve a healthy balance between home and career? Unfortunately, there are no magical answers but there are some things couples can do to make it work.<\/p>\n

One way is to make time for fun. It sounds so simple, but as busy as we are, we sometimes have to be reminded to slow down and relax a little. And living in a gorgeous place like San Diego, there\u2019s no reason not to have fun. Between our beautiful beaches, our vibrant Centro<\/b> scene and all the hidden walking trails in our canyons, there\u2019s so much to do and you don\u2019t have to spend a lot of money.<\/p>\n

One of our favorite activities is to go for a morning walk before we start our workday. Neighborhoods like Coronado<\/b> o Colina de los banqueros<\/b> are ideal because you can get a nice workout and explore all the fabulous homes while spending time together. It\u2019s also a great way to kick off the day!<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, we were on one of our morning walks when we came up with our latest idea \u2013 to create a new Couples Scavenger Hunt<\/strong>. Over the years, we\u2019ve received a lot of calls from people requesting \u201cromantic themed scavenger hunts.\u201d Some were newlyweds, others were about to be married, and still others had been dating for years \u2013 but they all had one thing in common \u2013 they wanted to have fun as a couple and they wanted to experience it with friends.<\/p>\n

This type of scavenger hunt can be done anywhere, but Downtown is the most requested. The tasks involved run the gamut, from couples reminiscing about their first date, to posing underneath the famous kissing statue along the Embarcadero<\/strong>. In case you\u2019re not sure what that is, it\u2019s a 25-foot tall sculpture of a sailor and a nurse kissing to mark the end of World War II, called \u201cUnconditional Surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the more active couples, we\u2019ve even designed fun relay races where teams are paired off in twos. There\u2019s nothing more rewarding than seeing couples smiling and laughing as they\u2019re trying to beat the competition in a three-legged race or potato sack challenge. The end result? Couples have a blast because it brings out the kid in them.<\/p>\n

Since the private Couples Scavenger Hunts have been so much fun, we\u2019re now offering it as a public event. This new Relationship Building Scavenger Hunt<\/strong> comes with a twist, thanks to relationship expert Scott Milnes, who will incorporate some fun relationship-building tasks into the three-hour event.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main challenges couples face is our hurried pace of life,\u201d Milnes said. \u201cEveryone wants things fast and immediately, but the benefit of the Scavenger Hunt is that you\u2019re actively allocating time to slow down and have fun together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The very first Relationship Building Scavenger Hunt will be held from 4:15 \u2013 7:15 p.m. on Saturday, May 18 in parque balboa<\/strong>. You can sign up by emailing us at tours@wheretours.com<\/a>. Mention our\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s All Happening\u201d column and you\u2019ll receive a special discounted price.<\/p>\n
