Addicted or Just Flushing The System??

Don't worry -- this post won't and isn't as ominous as that title might imply.  It's actually a statement Honey Isaac just made.

See, we're currently in San Diego for a good friend's wedding - and we're here for a long weekend.  Initially we were going to just lay low in our hotel room, rest up, let Isaac get some quality snooze time to get better.  But as soon as we woke up this morning, Isaac has been talking about all these different things we could do tomorrow with our full day of freedom.
And in walking back to our room we pass the standard hotel brochure bar -- with all the local and not so local attractions.  Of course there's one in particular that naturally caught our eye.  So now it's that struggle of being logical or giving in to spontaneity and just going. 

Well given our last week's sponaneity - Isaac posed the question of whether we're getting all this spontaneity out of our system before we seriously start talking/trying for kids, or are we becoming addicted to the spontaneity & risking more than is necessary?  I mean we don't have so many responsibilities that we're putting off, we don't have children at home that would be in want of necessities, our house & dog are currently already being taken care of.   The question definitely made me stop to ponder -- selfishly I'd like to say we're just getting it out of our system (and let's just be honest, in that my type A personality doesn't do spontaneity very often or well, so it's kind of fun for me), but when I really look at it, the decision doesn't seem that "smart." 

So what should we do?  How do you balance this kind of struggle?  Generally speaking, Honey Isaac & I are pretty freaking financially responsible & very rarely do things like this without having it completed backed up from the get go.  So a part of me immaturely wants to say "Screw it! Let's go!"  But I also don't want to put undue pressure/stress on him or our little family of 2.  Throw your suggestions my way friends!!
Happy Saturday! We're off to our buddy's wedding today -- Samoan style! :)
