One of the largest reviews of the year, the longest march, the longest walk. The kids look so good. (They took first place as susal, too!)
We do manage to escape and relax, especially after the parade. In Santa Cruz we are lunch at Gilbert's on the wharf. I think we spotted more than half the parents there. Rating this restaurant is where we firmed up the rating definitions over lunch.
Anne added to her silver bracelet collection (up to about 15 on her wrist at all times) at a silver store on the wharf.
The notes for this trip are written on the back of the paper band that holds the silverware when we ate at Gilbert's. Silly me, I thought it was just going to be a band review and did not bring my notebook.
