Here are some pictures in a slideshow on the right from a fun time this last week. In 5 days Madaline and I went to an Egyptian Mummy Exhibit at the Bowers Museum, Sea World to dine with Shamu, San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios, Getty Villa, La Brea Tar Pits, Museum of Natural History to see dinosaur bones, Getty Villa and Museum, and Medieval Times. The image above is from the Museum of Torture at Medieval Times that Madaline demanded we pay $2 extra to go through. This is a lovely snippet I thought the feminists among you might like to rail against. The images of the masks used are among the pictures linked in the slideshow album next to this picture. There are many images of Shamu and other animals from the San Diego Zoo - along with the instruments of torture at Medieval times. Madaline had a great time and did not want to leave from her vacation and fun, but she also understands the advantage of living in the security of the familial homestead after seeing how different a large city is compared to what she is accustomed to. She wants to visit and play quite a bit though, which is good. I hope everyone had a good week - I did!

Those masks sound fabulous. We ought to reintroduce them for politicians!
I'm so glad to hear about Madaline's visit - it sounds like you had as much fun as she did. (I wonder if your kid has the same effect as mine - she is a great distraction from all those things I occasionally take too seriously.)
so true! it was a good break from the often unfounded oppressiveness of academic concerns.
Sounds like fun (the trip, not the masks -- I so would've been stuck in one of those)! Glad you had a great break, it was well-deserved!
ooh... shrew masks for politicians... can you imagine what rush limbaugh would say about hillary? huh... museums of medieval torture are so fun. The chastity belts really gross me out, though. glad you had fun!!
glad to hear you had a great time over spring break.
