San Diego Trip

Well, the office sent me to a CalTrans Training, which was a great opportunity. Not the funnest topic (Resident Engineer Paperwork stuff) but getting trained for new aspects of my job is a great deal in this economy. Anyhow, Nana was kind enough to babysit for Eva while I trained, and John and Darren joined us on Thursday so we could go on some outtings. I didn't get to go (hence no pictures) to the Childrens Museum, but here are some pix of teh San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld.

I have to mention that to cards were stacked against SeaWorld. Not only did it rain, but there was also a Tsunami warning that morning! However, we prevailed and it was quite nice to avoid the crowds.

Here's Auntie Laurie who drove down to visit us...what a treat!

Nothing much

I need to vent, so this may be a bit boring. No cute pictures or anything to contribute today.

I was just feeling a bit down, since I really wanted to keep up with this Blog, but life just seems to have other ideas. Between birthday parties, cleaning, redoing the kitchen, housework, work work, dogs, therapy, doctors, dentists, diapers...my life is full. That's a good thing, but sometimes it makes you weary. At least my Christmas Thank you cards are all out (only a month later LOL!).

I was pondering the stay at home thing with my friend Holly (who is a SAHM) and I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. I think everyone must feel this way sometimes. I'm so glad to have so many people who put up with my hecktic schedule and sporatic contact. I love you all!!!

Well, this weekend we are off on a Train Trip Adventure! Timing is awesome, as it it "T" week at Darren's preschool. We are taking the train through the snow dusted mountains , through Truckee and past Tahoe all the way to Reno. We did this last year with our friends Matt and Joanne, I think it's goign to become a fun tradition! Can I give a little Amtrak plug here? For a reasonable price, you can take the whole family, babies are free, and no one has to pay attention to the road or navigate. You can have a beer or a glass of wine, or even a nice meal. On the particular stretch we go on, there is a live person narrating with cool historical facts! Oh, and the icing is that my hubby booked me a massage at the hotel we are staying at...yay!!!
