We were out on the west coast for the second time this March. The
alleged purpose of the trip was to run Whidbey with Mike and his friend Lisa, but our ulterior motives had more to do with more with visiting the grandkids again.
First stop was San Diego. We didn't get to see much of Chris, who was busy working on his thesis draft. But we did have one lovely evening dining with Chris and Anastasia's small group. Great food, great company. Other highlights of the trip included visiting
Ms. B's Hive (Maddie's preschool), and a playdate to Balboa park with one of Maddie's friends, Naomi.

Its totally impossible to pick favorite pictures, so here's a random sampling from the first couple of days of the trip.
