Mason wrapped up his week of filmmaking camp on Friday. Gramma and Papa met him for the open house and the premiere of the videos they shot. Mason’s group made a video called The Midnight Man. He had a role in this video. His camp counselor Grant was from Oregon and had a lot of […]
Our flight didn’t depart until noon so Bill and I had time to leisurely get up, have breakfast and go for another walk in the marina and the Gaslamp Quarter. I had noticed this statue of the totem pole birdhouse when we zipped past yesterday on scooters but today I had a chance to get […]
Our morning started off again with breakfast in our room before making our way down to the marina. Mason really wanted the three of us to rent scooters. Since it was pretty early on a Sunday, there was not much traffic and we were able to move freely on the paths. I was smitten with […]
After grabbing coffee and a light breakfast from the Starbucks in our hotel, we departed for the San Diego Zoo. It was a warm day so we started with a zoo loop on the tram to get the lay of the land. From what we saw on foot and from the tram, it is clear […]
Next up for the summer camp schedule is one for Mason on the UCSD campus. It begins on Monday but he, Bill and I headed out to San Diego a few days early for some fun. After landing and getting our fun and fancy rental car, we drove to Horton Plaza and saw Ant Man […]

We took advantage of every minute before […]
We know how to do full days when we are at AAP and today was no exception. First the boys and I participated in the annual fun run at 8 AM. The run non-competitive and meant for all members of the family. Walker raced ahead and Mason and I hung back with the walkers. He […]
On our walk to breakfast, I had the boys pose here. The sign makes me laugh. It’s not the site of just any scene. It was a sleazy scene. We met Monique, Frankie, Camille, Mom and Dad at Richard Walker’s Pancake House. The restaurant was really busy, the quarters were tight and the food was […]
We wandered over to the Children’s Museum as our first stop of the day and happened upon a well named (and busy) neighborhood breakfast joint. Then we were off to meet Mary, John, Katie and Keegan for the morning. The museum was not too crowded and had a little something for everyone. Thank you, Walker, […]
We have been looking forward to this year’s AAP conference in San Diego for quite some time. It officially starts tonight with the opening reception so we took the opportunity to get settled, wander around the harbor and do a little sightseeing with Bill. The Convention Center was the hub of the activities. The boys […]
