The problem with having one parent who works in an office all day and one parent who is stuck at home all day is that, inevitably, the one who works wants to sit on the couch at home on the weekends and the one who doesn’t wants to go out. This weekend it was our turn to visit my family in San Diego and it turns out that my wife, who wants to go out, was right. Road trip, barbecue, beer, sun, beach, football, ice cream and seagulls. What more, really, can anyone ask for? I would normally try to turn this into an overblown, emotional and flowery post, but this time? I think I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves.

So glad you had a good time; those pictures are wonderful and make me long for the beach, for the ocean. Aline is gorgeous, too!

@Kori, Why thank you! Having the beach practically in our back yard, we always ask ourselves why we don’t go more often. Its totally fun and totally free…how can you beat that?

I can forgive anything when you post photos of your family! Wowsers! That top one is stunning, but then each one following is just as good. Goodness, Dom looks like a mini-Matt!
Hope you can find the time to leave comments for some of my carnival participants – you know, from that fancy little computer that fits in your palm.

YES! I totally hear ya on the one parent (who works his ass off farming all day/year) wanting to relax and the other (me)dying to get out of the house and have an adventure that doesn’t involve pulling grilled cheese out of the dvd player situation:)
Glad to hear we aren’t the only ones!
