California Part 3

We visited two colleges near San Francisco, then dropped D off at the airport to go back to work. Then we headed to Socal, where we visited two more colleges, went to Ventura Pier, and braved Magic Mountain Fright Fest before heading back home.

Chicago Shenanigans

M took Geo on a road trip to Chicago for a chamber music camp. Along with his new cello, we took Snoopy, Buh, and a new addition to our plushy family, Sharky Joe, who hails from the Florida Keys.

Geo had fun learning to play chamber music with a string quartet.

M explored Evanston, which is a nice college town.

Geo and M (and Buh) also worked on a tricky puzzle.

We mostly ate stuff from Whole Foods but tried some local restaurants.

We had a lovely penthouse suite at the Hyatt House, which cost more than our mortgage but afforded us a fantastic view of the fireworks on the 4th of July.

The week ended with a fantastic finale concert. Geo is going to Portland for two weeks and D is flying to Chicago to drive M home. The summer is halfway over but there are still some more adventures to come.

Geo (+ Snoopy + Oliver) in Oregon

Geo flew solo to Portland earlier this week to hang out on the Oregon Coast with Grandma and Papa. He brought Snoopy and Oliver for company, as well as his stalwart companion, Softblank. He has been to a fish market and a cello concert so far and is currently trying his hand at whitewater rafting. He will be home just in time for his 12th (!) birthday.
