Not sure I will ever get there. Maybe Amtrak will get me there. Who knows?<br /><br />I love public washrooms! I always need one. I wish they had washrooms in the woods so I could take longer hikes.

If you have some time, check out the new Exploratorium- they moved to the piers and it's such a fun place. I recommend trying to get to one of their evening events where you can drink and you don't have to push small children out of the way when you want to play with the exhibits. :)HungryHydrologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570653452286243003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-46843847665232085672014-02-19T23:35:48.800-05:002014-02-19T23:35:48.800-05:00I certainly do, Dr. J.

That was a nice jog down memory lane. Lame I know. I went sailing for the first time! out of my comfort zone that's for sure. We took our "memory jog" on the sailboat out of Oxnard, California.

I went back to California probably about 10 years ago and Long Beach was so different, I had a hard time with how much it had changed from when I lived there. I lived in Mass for a long time so when I moved back to NH and my hometown at first it was like I had never lived there, I had a hard time finding things and names of streets threw me off.
