CAB 2012 draws to a close
I’m home. Alone. Ahhhh. The kids are on their way back east. I listened to classic rock and classical all the way back from the airport. Needed a hip hop detox. This is always the part where I get all … Continue reading

It was a late morning, since the girls were sleepyheads. The boys and I made good use of the time by exercising the dogs and watching the second Batman movie, as prep for the afternoon viewing of the new, 3rd … Continue reading
CAB Day 5 – Columbia State Park
After a raucous (card)game of golf, and muffins, juice and milk for breakfast, we struck out for Columbia State Park (http://www.columbiacalifornia.com/), which is like a Williamsburg for the Gold Rush. It’s an actual gold rush town, and people dress in … Continue reading

The Bay Area was on the road today, hoping for a glimpse of the campers. Bumper to bumper on the way to SFO, but I got there and collected the kids. They were totally into the cowboy hats, and looked … Continue reading
