Off the grid

Isaac and I are on vacation.

Well, of sorts -- we've been visiting my parents while Craig's away. My parents also live in coastal Northern California, about 100 miles away from us, but in a more rural area. Our visit here has been relaxing and vacationesque, not least because of the full meal service! (Well, Isaac always has full meal service, but it's a treat for me.)

Some things we've done: Several family members played hooky from work, and we all got together for a picnic at the beach. Izzy stood at the edge of the ocean, holding onto my knees, and seemed to enjoy the waves and sand shifting beneath his feet. We walked the dog among the redwoods, and the morning fog was so heavy and low it was like breathing cool steam. We visited Isaac's two great-grandmothers, and he was happy and playful with them. And Isaac sat on a tractor with his Opa, and they both had a good time.

However, my folks have dial-up Internet -- thus the brief post. We'll be back in the welcoming bosom of the suburbs later on Saturday.
