School in a Suitcase

In many ways, hanging out on a San Diego beach is just like being in Mexico!  The weather has been absolutely stunning – cool at night and sunny/hot during the days.  I could have easily just hung out at the beach for the whole past week, especially after all the work it took to get here and how tiring the theme parks are!  Imperial beach is a campy little beach town, where you can eat any clams you dig, and the beach is fringed with weathered surfer flops and Mexican eateries.  In one of my alternative lives, I would be a surfer chick with little surfer dude kids.

Théo and Dan made a visit to the USS Midway museum, a recently decommissioned aircraft carrier.  Théo may have had a defining moment – he thinks he might want to be a pilot when he grows up (just another of many indications that he is very much like my brother, who happens to be a pilot).
