San Diego









Earlier this month we went to San Diego. I was attending (and presenting at) the ESRI International User's Conference, so Amy and the kids flew down too and we rented a condo in Encinitas, a few blocks away from Moonlight Beach. Encinitas is an awesome beach town, very walkable with lots of restaurants and best of all the Coaster stops right in the middle of town, which is how I got to the conference each day. (I did manage to fit in some beach days and a trip to Legoland with the fam).

My brother drove over from Flagstaff mid-week to hang out with the kids, and he came to the conference with me on Thursday to watch me present, visit the map gallery, and check out some other sessions. The presentation went pretty well--it was about a conservation plan I've been working on for the Columbia Land Trust.

The second weekend of our stay was also Liam's 3rd Birthday, so both sets of grandparents came over from Phoenix, along with Amy's sister Julie and her daughter Madison. It was a great birthday party for Mr. Little Guy and we were elated that he was able to celebrate with so many of his relatives--actually, just about all of his relatives!
