Sam's School Field Trip to Lotusland
9/12/08

Lotusland is a Botanic Garden in Montecito.  I've lived in the area for over 25 years, and driven by it countless times, but this was my first visit.

Sam's 4th class has 30 students, but we had plenty of parent participation, probably close to a dozen parents.  We took a school bus for the 20 minute drive, and were on-site a little over 2 hours, returning to school at noon.  We broke into 4 groups led by descents.  Our group was 3 parents and all boys, so were were the rowdiest.  Everyone had a great time.
