Sam was out and about from San Diego to Bakersfield almost all week long with work. He drove over 800 miles over the course of four days, so we did not see him very much. I was busy with the home front, which was busier than normal without Sam. So, today being Saturday, it was family day. We drove down to the Ocean Beach People's Cooperative Market first and enjoyed a yummy vegetarian lunch. Spinach salad, roasted potatoes, pasta salad, and brunch burritos. Sam had a bit of business to do there as well. What with trying to get a coop started right here in San Clemente, they are a wealth of information.
From there we drove over to Balboa Park to the San Diego Natural History Museum. Tristan and Piper have been into dinosaurs for well over a year now and the museum has a good ongoing dino exhibit, and now a 3-D Imax film called "Dinosaurs Alive". Although the movie was good, with neat computer animation, Tristan and Piper had some trouble because the glasses were adult sized. It might have been a good thing that they did not see all the dinos in 3-D and get the pants scared off of them.
After the movie, we strolled around the park for a bit. Balboa is one of my favorite places out here. There are street performers and water fountains, gorgeous architecture and wedding parties, joggers and families, and people from all over the world out enjoying the day.
The kids started to get tired, so we packed Bert up and started heading home. On the way home, we got in touch with Jill and met her for dinner, grabbed some coffee afterward, and then went to her house so Tristan, Piper, and Jolyon could see her two cats, Tootsie and Lulu. We finally started to head home around 7:30.
Now we are home, the kids are asleep, and the house is quiet. Time to rest after this busy family day.
