As this was the first year E was in school it was also the first year that we did what thousands of parents of school-age children throughout the nation do: We took a spring break vacation. Our long-overdue trip to California started in San Diego, where we visited friends Rachele and Mike (and dog Harley) and tried to stay as quiet as possible at 4:30 a.m. when the kids got up. The hosts and weather were both hospitable and we had a wonderful time catching up and sight-seeing. Some highlights of the trip included:
 |
| The Mission Bay playground, where the kids got to run around after 12+ hours of travel |
 |
| The Turtle Breeding Grounds of the San Diego Zoo |
 |
| Riding San Diego wildlife |
 |
| Performing colonoscopies to unsuspecting canines |
 |
| Striking gnarlatious poses while gripping the rails of our shortboard |
 |
| Analyzing the proportionality between velocity and grain size |
 |
| Conducting field research on the resistance of sand at the littoral regions of the Eastern Pacific |
 |
| Assessing the tactile, olfactory, and gustatory nature of common silica |
 |
| Aarfing with the seals |
 |
| Testing the maximum tensile strength of marine snails |
 |
| Exploring the tide pools at Sunset Cliffs |
 |
| And, of course, just hanging out |

Great family foto!! Are those truly seals in the background? Like Henry's inquiring mind and love all the science reference, possibly I can get an item out of all that. Elizabeth is soooo looong in the "hanging out" picture.
