Red Rackham’s Treasure

Trip to Scicon

Scicon is a science camp in the Tulare County public school system. School children are sent there for traditional school camp trips. They get to experience the wonder of nature in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The mom of homeschool-friends of Thor’s used to work at this camp, and each year she returns when the salamanders are out. This is Thor’s second trip with his friends to visit the colorful salamanders, and this year they were spectacular!

Trip to Petaluma

Monday was a federal holiday, and we took advantage of a nice day to drive to Petaluma. Lex wanted to visit the Baker Seed company, which sells heirloom seeds that are non-GMO and non-hybrid out of a store that used to be a giant marble-edificed bank. She had a good time browsing the seed selection while Ed and Thor took a walk down Main street and along the waterfront.
