Two weeks ago, the kid and I had breakfast on the beach in Laguna. We were down there for quick weekend trip to visit a couple of colleges before Kean makes a final decision about the fall. At the time, I wondered if the trip was wise or not, given our then-handful of local coronavirus cases, and even joked about having to buy bicycles to get back home. I didn’t really expect that a mere week later we would *actually* be locked down... Kiddo was lucky to have gotten the in-person college information-gathering done; peers who had planned to do this over spring break are just out of luck.
For your vicarious enjoyment, here are our few vacation pictures for the year:
We started with a completely spurious trip to the La Brea Tar Pits because the kid was intrigued. It is distinctly odd to see asphalt randomly seeping up from the ground in the park. Despite the fact that the kid is pictured next to the cone, it was me who got sticky stuff on my hands. I just couldn’t resist poking it with a stick...
Not pictured: colleges, the ostensible point of the trip.
We stayed in scenic Laguna Beach. There were just enough clouds to improve the view, without said clouds actually raining on us.
Dolphins! Really, they were there.
Kiddo squiddy dance.
And, of course, nice sunsets, right across the street from where we stayed.

I can't believe college is already here!
