Today, we took five eighth graders to Windsor Water Works in honor of my daughter’s birthday, and wouldn’t you know it, there was rain in August in Northern California! We were there long enough to enjoy the slides, however.
The rest of the Santa Barbara trip was about the same for me. I didn’t recover my energy until today. I didn’t sleep well, in spite of comfortable accommodations. The kids enjoyed the shopping mall, and I really felt closer to my wife. She was very caring and supportive of me during the trip. We had a really nice dinner together on Saturday night, leaving the kids in the room with more than enough pizza and Chinese chicken salad.
