Bruser Bonanza

Way overdue:

I'm just putting this out there -- we love the Bruser family. Though our visit to their home in San Diego was slightly shorter than planned, it really felt like we were stopping at home.

To all our dedicated readers who also happen to be Jewish mothers: We ate in SD. Yes, we ate and ate well, thanks to Cheryl and Tony:

1) home-smoked brisket, delicious beans with bacon and cilantro, home made cole slaw, sweet corn.
2) Payeyeya with a multitude of land and sea life, including clams, sausage, chicken, shrimp... etc...
3) Mexican style mac and cheese (tortilla chips and jalepenos baked in).

We did some cool stuff too with kyle and ally and their friends, as shown in the pictures below.


Adventures at the tidepools. Unfortunately, it was high tide when we showed up, but it was cool anyway.

Allie gets a sweet new (used) bike that I found for her on eBay.

Kyle left abruptly for a backpacking trip, so we journeyed on to Scottsdale...
