We had a great day! Daddy started the new year off great by watching Oliver in the morning! Mama went for a long run at the San Elijo Lagoon by herself (its to hard to push the stroller on the soft sandy trail!), while Oliver played with Daddy, Bhuta, and Grandma.

After we got ready we made our way to Balboa Park to visit the Natural History Museum (Daddy is a member!). We had fun looking at the new fossil exhibit, a lot of fossils were found in Carlsbad. We also went for a nice walk and saw a lot of families and dogs out on a nice day! Afterwards we ate at a pizza place in Hillcrest, Oliver liked the olives in the calzone that we all shared.

We spent a nice evening with Bhuta and Grandma, Daddy bbq'd Bhuta's favorite ground round and Oliver loved Grandma's yummy beans. We had a nice start to 2009!
