New Life for Mary Kay packaging

One of the most challenging geometry concepts for middle schoolers is surface area. In this lesson, students draw a net (which is a representation for surface area) for the box they are given, then cut the box to match (hopefully) their net.

The USS Midway

Lenny wanted to tour an aircraft carrier. We had a private tour given by a retired pilot who had actually landed on the USS Midway.
Seventy five planes could be housed on the Midway.The wings can be folded up for storage - how cool is that!

Lenny and Dane were tickled with the tour!

Golfing in Paradise

The Coronado Golf Course is beautiful with palm trees and a couple of holes overlook the Pacific Ocean.

We could see the Coronado Bridge from the Golf Course. Lenny watching Dane's tee-shot.
Ready for the Links!

Padre Baseball

Dane discovered that the Padres were playing at home, so we attended their baseball game against the Houston Astros. Petco Stadium is wonderful - the only problem was the pesky wind.

Sea World - San Diego

Montana and Colorado are not green and growing yet.
