Our family vacation last week gave me the chance to do some really fun, geeky things with the family, so I decided to tell you about what we did, and I found a link for more really cool places to go on vacation as well. Also, our friend Doug is at sea on the JOIDES Resolution expedition, and is blogging and Twittering back his experiences as a science teacher witnessing lots of scientists studying the sea floor.
