Summer Adventures in San Diego

The day after we returned to San Diego, I had signed up for a Half Marathon that ended right next to our house. I would already be waking up early from the jet lag so it actually was good timing for a race.


 Hunting prey?
 We spent a long weekend camping with friends in the San Bernadino Mountains
 Bought a new tent which worked great (plus a lovely queen size air mattress)
 He's a dancer
 Swimming in a nearby lake...which was super gross with slime and dirt. But beautiful scenery
 Hiking near the campgrounds


 The whole gang
 Back home and tired after all that fun. Napping with Dunkin's blanket






We went to our local community pool for the first time. Very fun!
 Adam did another triathlon, this time the swim was in the ocean. For his first time doing one like this, he did great!


 Still eats his spaghetti o's without his shirt on
 First day of Pre-K!
 Spending the day with me for my company's Take Your Child To Work Day
 He had so much fun doing many science experiments

 Awesome chemistry demonstration
 Checking out the robot
 Loved playing inside these big balls
 Last weekend we met some of his school friends at the nearby water park: Aquatica. He's tall enough to ride all the slides now! This year was a huge improvement over last year--he showed no fear
 Snack break

 His school buddies
 I was watching the Track and Field World Championships on TV and he kept imitating the different events. This is him pole vaulting.

Northeast Trip 2017: Week 2

After leaving CT, we stopped in Massachusetts to see grad school friends Jude and Rob (and to crash Cory's birthday party!). I did not take any photos but we were thrilled to see our friends!

Finally in Maine! Walking to the playground with his cousins
 Bedtime story with Grammy
 Ice cream is the best
 We headed to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport for a beautiful coastal 5K

 Lots of time spent with family


 This kid still loves trains

 Arcade at the beach
 Grammy put the kids to work!


 Fun day at the Children's Science Museum in Portland
 Baseball!
 Heading out on a lobster boat


 Dinner!


 Found time to stop at a few breweries in Portland

 4 generations


 Finally back home after 2 weeks of vacation fun
