Fishing in Mexico

Steve and I took a day for ourselves recently and went fishing on a charter boat. We left from Point Loma in San Diego and spent the day fishing in Mexican waters off of the Coronado Islands. Fishing is Steve's hobby but he convinced me to go with him. We had a great time and were joined by some friends. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't as good as we had expected (the sun never came out that day and we actually got rained on for about 15 minutes) but we still had a wonderful time.

Steve's goal for the trip was to catch a Yellowtail. Well, he hooked into one but after fighting the fish for 10 minutes or so it broke his line and made a great escape. We both caught some Sand Bass and I caught a Sculpin which is also known as a California Scorpion Fish.

Back to School 2009

Well it's that time of the year again.....Back to school for the kids!! Joseph started 5th grade which is his final year in elementary school =( I have no idea where the time went! It seems like just yesterday we were walking him up to his first day of Kindergarten. We are excited for him but sad for us....LOL.

Miss Madison began the 3rd grade. This also marks her entry into the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Program. In California schools children become eligible for this program in 3rd grade. She is very excited to be in GATE and had been counting down the days to return to school!!!
