Genealogy Journal - 06/27-06/30/08

As most of my faithful readers know, I attended the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree in Burbank over the weekend, leaving Friday morning and returning today to Chula Vista via Victorville. We brought Lolo down to stay the week with us. I enjoyed the Jamboree tremendously, and really enjoyed meeting about 15 fellow genea-bloggers, and many more readers of Genea-Musings besides. You can read my eight posts from the Jamboree on Genea-Musings.

We left Victorville today before 9 a.m., gassed up on Bear Valley road and stopped in Temecula at the In-N-Out for lunch. Linda drove the rest of the way home and I got a much needed nap. Lolo was perfect the whole way down - chattering, singing, asking questions, and finally just sort of watching the world go by, totally bored. She took a nap when we got home, which let us get unpacked, turn the computer on, and get the chores done. I managed to read my email and blogs, and post "Best of the Genea-Blogs" a day late but that was the extent of my activity until late tonight.

Lolo woke up at 2:30 and we played inside for awhile, then went out into the back yard and played ball tag and soccer with the 3-foot rubber ball. We came back in later, and she watched PBS Sprout and Nick Jr. while I dozed in my chair. We had dinner outside on the patio, but she didn't eat a lot. We came in and watched the Padres game (scored 7 in the 9th to win 15-8 over the Rockies). Lolo had her bath and was in bed by 7:30, not a peep out of her!

I washed the dishes, then came into the computer at about 9:45 and read my email, and quickly posted "Martin Carringer (1758-1835), an Independent Spirit" for the next Carnival of Genealogy. I checked my stats, wrote this post, and will go to bed soon!
