The Ferry

We were driving through Mission Bay earlier this week when Oscar suggested that we buy a boat so that we can go out in the water. Instead of a whole boat, we bought ferry tickets so that the kids could experience a boat ride. It was actually our kids’ first time on the water and [...]

The Schulz Goodbye Gene

Oscar has inherited the Schulz Goodbye Gene. This gene makes the process of saying goodbye to loved ones very difficult and emotional.

The Coolest Thing in California
