| Conference Morning (the best!) brunch: Breakfast pizza, Ebelskivers, Crepes. |
During spring break, I took the kids on the subway downtown to Union Station and Olvera Street.
      Another day, we went ice skating and met Lisa's family there.   Then we spent 2 days in San Diego.       Swimming on a cool morning is remedied with pool-side hot chocolate.    |
