[bs] Every year, there are a few days called “open house” for parents to visit the class room where their children study and meet the teachers. We never missed any of them.

I’ve learned so much chaperoning Ardenwood Elementary field trips. This time, we went to Intel Museum in Santa Clara. It’s Mrs. Hinkley 4th grade class. I remembered all the Intel CPU’s based computers I built in the last 20 years. The worst thing is I didn’t even know this museum exists living in Silicon Valley. …
I had another opportunity to chaperon Ardenwood Elementary 6th grade field trip to the Fremont Ohlone College Symphony field trip, it was a great experience. The symphony was wonderfully orchestrated and the kids from all Fremont school district were amazingly talented with their own musical pieces.
One of the benefit living in the costly Silicon Valley is short trips to ski resorts in the winter. We had the opportunities every year to hit the slopes in the Sierras. Our family love skiing, we don’t ski well, but we enjoy every time.
