New Duds, New Digs

Day Six: BTC and Carlsbad, CA

Southern California has been heating up with highs in the 80's and we found that we had not packed appropriately so we had to do a little mid-trip shopping.

Early afternoon we visited BTC - a company for which Patrick has been developing software. They are on the forefront of neuropsychiatric medicine with MRT technology and were recently featured in the Washington Post for their work with treating PTSD/ TBI amongst returning veterans. There is a lot of energy there and excitement about the results they are having with Autism, with chronic pain, and with Alzheimers, to name a few. Patrick loves that he gets to work on something that is helping people and it looks like there will be many exciting opportunities in the future. As part of our visit, we all got to have EEG's to see what it's like.

Next, we traveled south to Carlsbad, California, near Legoland, where we'll stay for the next six days before heading home. Today was a down day, getting settled, checking out our hotel and watching Phinneas and Ferb's Star Wars movie.
