Mini Vacation

Last month we took a couple days off and went to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Gilroy Gardens.  We had a blast at the aquarium with Anne and Dave. But for some reason, I have no pictures!!! They were supposed to come to Gilroy with us too, but they had to come home because there was a fire near their house! Luckily everything turned out just fine, but we missed them the next day!

The kids always have fun in Gilroy Gardens.  All the rides are small enough that they can go on and not be scared.  This giant artichoke ride always cracks me up. Julie said, "I don't like eating them, but I sure like riding them!!"

This is one of their favorites, the Caterpillar ride!  We took them on the roller coaster for the first time. Neither were fans. Maybe next year.

Sadie and Daddy hanging out after lunch. Aren't they cute!?

The girls on the train. Sadie isn't too sure about this.

Andy riding with his hood up. Silly little man.

Julie and I went to a little dance show with Clifford. Afterwards she got to go up and hug him. She thought that was pretty cool.

We could have used another day or two away from reality, but we'll take what we can get!
