Trips
I was in Pittsburgh all last week, for the annual "March Meeting" of the American Physical Society. I presented a talk, as did my student Benjamin Heaton, and my other student Mitch Jones had a poster. The trip home was eventful, as we got bumped twice (voluntarily), and ended up with $700 in travel vouchers. (Each.) Plus, we got to spend half a day in Atlanta, where Benjamin and I both had family (parents/siblings for him, sister/brother-in-law for me).
Pauline and I decided to use some of our travel voucher to get airline tickets to California during the kids' spring break. Since I don't have any classes this semester, it will be one of the few times when I can take off when the kids are out of school. So, we're going to Disneyland! :-) And probably at least one or two other places. Still undecided as to where else we should go--leaning towards Legoland, but also considering San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and Universal Studios.
Quote of the day, from a review of a car-driving ride in Legoland: "They don't allow wreckless driving on the course..." The unintended completely opposite meaning made me smile.

legoland was an annual trip when my sister lived in irvine. we went three years in a row and the kids loved it every year. never wanted to try anywhere else including disneyland.
You will have a wonderful time! If you're going to be there long enough, I'd get the Southern California CityPass -- it's cheapest at Costco, and includes 3 days at Disneyland, 1 at SeaWorld, 1 at the San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park, and 1 at Universal Studios.
In any case, have fun!
