Can I just tell you how much fun it is to go to Vegas? Especially (I found out) with my two homeschooled kids. (I LOVE going with Amy too because she and I always have so much fun and that's completely different, but that' s not important right now.) Lucy and Jonathan know stuff. (not at all implying that Amy doesn't, it's just more ...

We’re ba-a-ck!
Yes. I realize we were just here umm... about ten days ago. And yet, here we are again.Yes. We got to drive through the Mojave Desert once again. (I know you're jealous. =D) Why? Billy Joel. One night only.MGM Grand.Yes. I know I told you that Eric was taking Lucy to that concert, but seriously, do you think I would be ...
Stuff I only do when I have out-of-town guests and then remember how much cool stuff there is to do around here.
Okay, so I could be thinking of really cool stuff I can blog about, except for I have other responsibilities this week. There's nothing like having out-of-town guests who want to see everything they possibly can in the few days they're here. So, I'm obviously not blogging,I'm being the quintessential Tour Guide. "Prima ...
I’ve been busy.
You're probably wondering where I've been the past few days. I've . . . Traveled from Balboa Island to The Fun Zone on a ferry with my cousins.Left footprints in the sand of beautiful Laguna Beach.Visited the World's Largest Thermometer in Baker, CA. (Gateway to Death Valley - what a great touristic selling point!)Posed for a picture in the ...
Learning to stand
Eric went to college at UCSD and so knows all the best surf spots down here in Del Mar and San Diego. It is here on this very same beach and in these same waves that he perfected his turns. As I watch him with the kids, I think how much I love the continuity of having Jonathan learning to surf here in this same spot as his Dad and how as he ...
A shark by any other name . . . (is still a shark)
15th Street in Del Mar has a flat, sandy bottom and a rolling beach break perfect for surfers. That flat, sandy bottom is also a favorite of sand sharks, who seem to come out around sunset to feed. So here are Jonathan and Eric on The Great Sand-Shark Hunt. Eric reassures us that they are harmless and that it's just fun to spot the creatures as ...
Kevin Bacon and Historical California Landmarks
We spent the day at the beach here on Coronado Island in San Diego at this hotel. It's called The Hotel del Coronado. Or just The Del, if you're a local or you just know stuff. It's my absolute FAVORITE place down here because of the beautiful turn of the century architecture and all around general coolness of the history of the ...

Havana Surf Team Training Camp
The West Coast representatives of the Havana Surf Team (henceforth to be known as the HST) will be in serious training all week on the beautiful beaches of San Diego, California. ;-) I'll be bringing live reports from their training facility. My job for the entire week is to document the adventures of the HST from paddle out to wipe out. I ...
Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey
I have to admit that my original plan was to write an extensive blog post on the amazingness (is that a word?) of this show. I thought I would describe each moment in great detail and send you off immediately to at least get the cd because you've never heard this very familiar music mixed quite so brilliantly. I thought I might even include a ...
