Today was another nice and relaxing Sunday, just the way we like it.

After we dropped off Ricky, El Site Guru, at the airport yesterday  morning, we ran our errands and then we dug in for the rest of the day. We watched Burn Notice, Heroes, Supernatural, Ghost Machine and Julie & Julia. The last movie may seem a little odd to most, but apart from video games and movies, we also love to cook and eat. While our cooking may not get any Michelin stars anytime soon, it can easily measure up to any household cooking. :)

Yesterday was a bit of a letdown. Our trip to the Chabot Space & Science Center was a little disappointing since it was mainly an outing for parents to take their kids and learn about space/evolution. The place was filled with screaming and running 8-year-olds, and while that in itself wouldn't have been any issue, the telescope was not operational due to overcast weather, so we did not get to see much apart from a 45-minute IMAX movie about dinosaurs. Yawn. The center itself is located on a hill, which gave us an amazing view of the area, so that kind of made up for it.

We did manage to get our DVR replaced, so hopefully the skipping and crashing will be a thing of the past. Too bad there were still a few shows on the old one that we hadn't watched yet.
