Last weekend, we visited California to go see family and get some sun. The weather was lovely up until the last day we were there, which was a joy -- the other times we've visited home, it's either been cool and rainy, or frustratingly smokey.
While there, we dug out my old RC car -- after all these years, it still works! Well, even! The kids and I had a good time driving it up and down the sidewalk, down into the dirt walk, and in the driveway.
We went back to
Curiodyssey, which was a really good time again.

| We built this, then destroyed it right after |
 |
| GODZILLA! |
 |
| This was a sudoku-type puzzle where the pieces were skyscrapers |
We visited Japantown in San Jose, and there was a bonsai exhibition going on:
 |
| This is a coast redwood -- I like the playfulness of seeing something that's so big, now in miniature form |
 |
| This azalea was incredibly fragrant |
 |
| There were many junipers, but this was one of the most nicely shaped ones |
 |
| A Chinese banyan tree |
 |
| Lemon tree with full sized fruits! |
 |
| Can't quite read the card for this, but I believe it's another banyan tree |
 |
| Ginko tree |
