A New Home and a New Blog

I've made the move to our furnished condo in Monterey and the view from our master bedroom is pretty darn nice.  The family is still back home getting their lives organized but will join me in a few weeks.  To document my experience over the coming year, I'll have a new blog titled A Year at NPS with all the happenings both at school and with the family in Monterey.

Free Cruise Around the Port of Long Beach

The family signed up for a free cruise of the Port of Long Beach because I thought it would be need to see some of the huge cargo ships up close.  The cruises are run by the port to show how they are being environmentally friendly.  The sun didn't break until we were heading back to shore but it was still a good time.

Liz Does Disney Half-Marathon

Liz ran the Disneyland Half Marathon and the kids and I zoomed around town to see her run through Angel's Stadium before meeting her at the finish at Disneyland.  Liz could not fathom how some people were going to spend the rest of the day in the park after running.

Walking with Dinosaurs!

Everyone except Anneliese went to go see the Walking with Dinosaurs show at the Anaheim Pond.  It was a darn impressive show.  We all jumped in our seats when a T-Rex broke his silence after staring down audience members with an incredibly loud roar.  It was hard sell convincing Ethan to get a 3-D poster instead of some lame trinket as memorabilia but I pulled it off.
