| Melissa and her mom stayed at our house over the holidays |   Great view |   Peter sweeping up some snow on the deck | Moon view over the Olympics |   At the Math Adventure |   Book club | Peter at a choir concert |   The most snow we've had in a while! |     Carol taking pictures of the winter landscape | No power - cooking dinner with the gas cooker |   The kids made a huge snow ball, and left it in the street, carving some steps into it. I had them move it so cars wouldn't run into it. | A knex ball drop |   The plane |   A walk at May Creek Greenway. There's some weird ridges that are difficult to see in the photo, but very remarkable in real life. It's an old railroad track. | Peter on his new electronic keyboard |   A trip to San Diego - the pier at South Mission Beach | There had just been massive flooding, and there were lots of sandbags |   Surfers |   On the USS Midway |   Captain Peter |   In the brig |   Some very efficient sleeping quarters - |   At Cabrillo National Monument |   The tidepools were absolutely packed with school groups |   At Fort Rosecrans National Cemetary |   We tried to see how many non-standard (i.e. non Christian crosses) we could find. There were quite a few. |   The fountain at Balboa Park |   Big flocks of wild parrots in the trees near the Midway Towne Center shopping mall | Sea lions along the waterfront |     At the beach in front of Coronado Hotel | The neighborhood had some really beautiful homes |   The San Diego Zoo - pandas | Right when we were at the San Diego Zoo, they were doing a massive installation of an aerial walkway |   We have an old picture of Kenny at this same spot, when he was a baby - here's the link: http://www.ericandsylvia.com/pictures/2004/01-31-2004/?medium=img_4433.jpg |   It was interesting watching these tortoises eat. Once the food got scarce, they started pushing one another out of the way. |   This polar bear had gone a little crazy. He was making the same set of movements over and over again, identical. |   A sad dog, caged in with a tiger. The dog was so happy to see the keeper, but the tiger didn't even turn around. | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
