Beautiful Babies

Sometimes my heart is so happy and filled with joy. These 3 usually have something to do with it.

Mother-Son Date Adventure Day- Sausalito

We didn't start out expecting to got to Sausalito. But there was NO parking near the Exploratorium in SF. The Universe wanted us to go to Sausalito!

 We had an excellent Chinese meal at a restaurant I forget the name of. Nemo was there.

 We had such a great time exploring the shops and hanging out. My favorite thing was exploring the funky toy store and letting Brandon pick out a couple souvineers. We also saw Niki Minaj and Morgan Freeman. No biggie.

"They see me rollin', they hatin'..."

We really need to get Brandon his own bike....

Grandma's June Visit, Part 2: Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Grandma's June Visit, Part 1

Grandma came up for a visit in June and brought Brandon. Double-yay! Brandon turned 12 on June 10 so I took him to California Great Adventure for his present. We had a blast! That roller coaster behind Brandon was their newest one and had an almost vertical drop- so scary! We had to go on it twice.

 The next day we went to Monterey to check out the aquarium. We had lunch at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company.

Brandon got a new hairdo...

and seriously , this is the most amazing aquarium ever!!

Fun for all ages, I tell you!!

The giant clam almost closed on us but luckily Brandon has been working out...

Look out, Kaylee!!! Incoming!!!

Time for sugar! And a punch to the face, me harties!

Santa Cruz beach is COOOOLLLLDDDD!!!! (I'm still shivering!)

Of course the girls were totally  fine with the weather and romped around in the water like we were in the Caribbean.

 But as you can see from this picture, I am wearing a sweater! Underneath the sweater is a towel over my bikini. It. Was. Cold. But I'm glad we braved it and enjoyed the beautiful California coastline.

 We warmed up at Starbucks afterwards!
