Yesterday I

  • Kelly got up before me to take care of little man. I slept a little late, but got up to take over as Kel left for her swim.
  • After some chats with Stephen, we opted to head for the Petrified Forest so Johann could nap in the car on the way up.  As we approached, I called Steve to discover they hadn't even left yet,so we drove all the way over to Calistoga to let Johann sleep longer and to have lunch.  After lunch I called again, and they were stopped in San Rafael, so we just went to the petrified forest anyway.
  • The fossilized wood was really interesting. The wood has essentially been slowly replaced by mineral deposits, so the structure of the wood is preserved at a very fine level of detail such that rings are apparent.  The trees are huge.  Just really interesting.  Got Johann a fossil book and  trilobite fossil, because they're just great.
  • Stopped at Russian River brewing on the way back.  I got the Belgian sampler, and was impressed with the sours.  I'm acquiring the taste.  Johann had a tough time, I think it was because he was tired, but maybe hungry.  I had to hold him for much of the outing, so Kel and I didn't get much time together.
  • Once home, Kel took care of him and gave him a bath and put him down.
