SD: One week in

Today marks one week in SD for the Lewis Family.  It's been a fun and busy week.  Lots of juggling the needs of both kids, while trying to get things done with both of them in tow at all times.  We visited the cliffs about La Jolla, La Jolla Shores, and Tourmaline Beach.  All were beautiful and unique.

 Yesterday, we made our first visit to the Birch Aquarium at UCSD, where we have a membership for the summer.  Upon arrival Hersh locked my keys, phone, and bag in the car.  That's right, before we even left the parking lot and visited the aquarium, we had a fairly major incident.  And I will say, I usually stay pretty mellow, but this got me angry.  I just couldn't believe that Hersh locked and shut the car door.  I kept trying to remind myself to be appreciative that Alte wasnt locked in the car.  We then visited guest services, called a locksmith, and waited for about an hour.  $50 later, the car was unlocked.  We then went inside the aquarium, which is really nicely done.  It is modestly sized, and focuses on marine life on the West Coast.  There is an outdoor area that looks over the ocean, where the aquarium has set up tide pools for touching.  This is where Hersh fell into the tide pool.  I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but he was wet from his face (the water got in his mouth), all the way down his shorts.  Needless to say, it was an eventful trip to the aquarium.  We also got a library card this week and enjoyed some delicious Mexican food.
