A Mini-Family Reunion
Veterans Day Weekend November 9-12, 2006
Dad and I take a ride on his new BMW motorcycle
|
Kristine and Dad pose before they take a ride in the new Jeep
|
Mom and Dad have many birds that visit their feeders
|
My sister flew out from Boston and Todd and I drove down to Escondido to visit
Mom and Dad. We all had a good time hanging out together and catching up!
On Saturday we drove up to Palomar Mountain
|
The Observatory Dome is about the same size as the Pantheon in Rome!
|
The 200 inch Hale Telescope was the largest in the world when it went into operation in 1949
|
That's Mt. San Jacinto in the distance
|
That's a giant sequoia tree, probably planted about the same time they started building the Observatory 80 years ago
|
On Sunday we ate brunch and had fun exploring the farmer's market at Rainbow which is along Old Highway 395 between Escondido and Temecula
