started the day at guero's taco bar.  there was a stage outside but we enjoyed the margaritas inside.

there was a stage at the Hotel San Jose.  We enjoyed a fun set by The Bird and The Bee.  it would have been even better if the girls put as much effort into playing instruments as they do synchronizing movements.  they were fun and they get today's AMH baby doll dress award (formerly known as the pizzicatto five award).  they have some fun videos on the ole U-tuber

the south by san jose stage featured green power.

we got free beer (after buying a $5 pint glass) at the 512 brewing company

after all that... we were bloated and decided a nice quiet evening at home with friends would be a welcome change of pace.

#1 son and I cleaned the pool, adjusted the chemistry and he enjoyed the first swim of 2009

kids are still enjoying the disassembly of the antique calculator

more spring has sprung pics

red yucca is flowering

this tree we relocated is flowering, horray!  we were afraid it might be dead.

this gives an idea of the height on the century plant flower that has shot up.

she was happy to read her highlights magazine while he made "Chalk World".  he explained that the homes in his Chalk World were modern "because modern homes often have flat tops"
