Saying Goodbye to Summer

We had a really fabulous summer! I enjoyed a blogging hiatus, and look forward to the start of fall and blogging again.

Now that summer is nearly officially over (though here in San Diego summer lingers for a bit longer and in fact the record high temperature ever here was recorded on September 26, 1963) I thought I would reflect on some of the fun things we did...

Spent the 4th of July aboard the USS Midway

Visited the world famous San Diego Zoo

And the Wild Animal Park!

Saw Topol in his farewell tour of "Fiddler on the Roof" - fantastic!

Ate tons of fresh strawberries

Built a beautiful bird bath fountain

Celebrated The Girl's 12th birthday (heaven help us - the teen years are looming)

Took a day off to play at a water park

Saw Spamalot!

Had fun with light and photography

Spent many evenings strolling through our neighborhood

Bought Guitar Hero World Tour (and spent many evenings playing it!)

Fed gallons of hummingbird food to our little friends

Saw Star Trek, The Terminator and Harry Potter in the theater

Read a ton of books and magazines

Watched Evita, Cloverfield, Hotel Rwanda, Seven Pounds, Crash, 88 Minutes, Apocolypto, Hitch and We Are Marshall (thanks to NetFlix) among others

Enjoyed time with friends and family

Celebrated with the family at our 40th Annual Family Reunion!

And last, and by no means least - celebrated THE END OF CANCER TREATMENTS with my sister!



She's in the middle -doesn't she look great?!


Hope you all had wonderful summers too!
