Our thanks to craigslist. We sold a crib to a Seattle couple expecting twins. Oliver is celebrating his new bed today.
Quick trip to Monterey last week with Joe who was attending the EcoFarm Conference. Barefoot in the sand and wading in the tide pools, one sunset, weather not great. Squeezed in two trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a truly wonderful place. An entire new wing called the Splash Zone was added since our visit last year. Tons of interactive exhibits, more touch pools, and penguins!
Found some more fun at the new Monterey County Youth Museum. Grinning kiddos running around exploring a treehouse, a farmers market with a John Deere tractor and garden, a place for the kids to stomp in a barrel of faux grapes (not as gross as it sounds), an ambulance and hospital, a theatre with stage, costumes, camera, and screen, a miniature golf course with cart, a 2-story playhouse, a 'construction' site, an ocean area with a boat and soft piers for climbing, and this great contraption they could stand in and use a pulley system to lift a hoop and surround themselves with a gigantic soap bubble. Whoa!
Despite all of this fun kidstuff, I still think the biggest travel highlights for Oliver are the airports. He's totally into airport security. The conveyer belts, the x-ray machines, escalators, moving sidewalks, the baggage claim, and the jets. We had to pull up the Bombardier website so he could learn more about the Q400 we took to and from Bellingham and he hasn't stopped talking about it, tells everyone.
Joe took some great pics, so we'll just have to wait patiently until he gets a chance to do his magic and give them to me to post.
