Part of our time in San Diego was spent at beautiful Balboa Park. We’ll go back there for sure!
It was so great to see Helen again for the first time since she lived with my parents!
And on a whim, I asked my mom to bring her skates so we could take the kids skating. I seriously had not been on the ice since I was pregnant with Elizabeth, and I had to be careful since it was the day before my race. The hardest thing I tried was a salchow. Tommy did really well…after I showed him how to fall the right way. Elizabeth fell immediately upon entering the rink and was inconsolable until we gave in and took off her skates. Then she hung out with Grandpa and Susanna, cheering on Tommy’s progress. I think it was actually really good for Tommy to be braver than his fearless sister at something for once!
