CAPIO -- Day Two

What a treat to spend some mommy-daughter time with Jessica today!

We met for lunch at a restaurant in Coronado at the ferry landing. The ferry comes and goes from San Diego on the other side of the bay every 45 minutes or so. You can see it near the pier in the photo above.

We had a nice meal and nice catch-up conversation, all the while watching families playing on the little beach by the pier and kiteboarders doing all kinds of remarkable feats between the water and the sky.


Here's my baby girl! She's married to my son-in-law John and is the mother of two of my four grandchildren, Kimberly and Steven.

Tomorrow it's back to the CAPIO conference for a full day of sessions that are required for me, including Government Communicator Ethics, Advanced Digital Photography (God knows I need that one), Feature Writing Refresher, and Employees: The Forgotten Public.

The conference ends on Friday morning, then I'm back in Pasadena on Saturday and then on a plane to Memphis on Sunday at 6 a.m.!

CAPIO - Day One

This year's CAPIO conference is at the Hilton on Mission Bay in San Diego.

Yesterday (Tuesday) there were a couple of pre-conference workshops and some of us had a chance to catch up.


Here's (left to right) Erin Blount, communications and media officer for First 5 Sacramento; Scott Summerfield, a principal at SAE Communications; and Michelle Powell, communications coordinator for Union Sanitation District.

As seems to be my tradition, my camera battery was dead so I used my Treo. I'm staying at my daughter Jessica's house in Chula Vista while I'm here, so on my way down last night I stopped at RiteAid and picked up reinforcements.
