Homeward bound

Zipping down the 15 with the top down, radio up, and sun on my face makes for a very relaxing last day of vacation. Headed towards L.A. For a brief visit to USC and Pinkberry (squee!) before our flight tonight. It's been an amazing week and, as Lily says, "A pretty good first family vacation."

Pretty good, indeed...

Winding down

Sitting poolside watching the zilla swim with her "vacation friends" :). Today was an amazing day which included a photo safari of the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Feeding and petting giraffes and rhinos? I could hardly contain myself! Both animals are personal favorites of mine. To see them in such a spectacular setting and interact with them...it was a "bucket list" moment. J snapped a kazillion pics which I will post sometime after we get home.

We get home! So not tired of using that phrase yet.

Miss you guys! So many fun stories to tell.

It's genetic

This evening while at skating:

Random woman: "Excuse me? Are you a hockey mom?"

Me: "No, I'm not. Sorry"

Woman: "Do you know the practice schedule for next month?"

Me: "For hockey? No. My daughter doesn't play hockey. She's in figure skating."

Woman: "I heard you. But you look like a hockey mom." (What does a hockey mom look like? Evidently, me.)

Zilla: (lacing her skates as this exchange occurs) "You do kind of look like a hockey mom, momma. You also look like you can see Russia from your front door."

Perfect deadpan, my girl has. It is growing increasingly difficult to not laugh at the things she says. And yes, I am aware of whom she gets this.
