We had a very nice day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. My oldest played arcade games while my youngest rode this ride over and over again!

Today we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is a pretty cool place. The girls ran about and checked out all of the exhibits. They Had a flamingo exhibit this year and you can see in the picture that one of the flamingos was sleeping in a tree. I know that birds sleep in trees, but sleeping in a tree while standing on one leg seems to take it to a whole new level.

After driving for the past two days it was very nice to spend today in my mom’s house just hanging out with family. My niece came to visit, my brother came to visit, and friends came to visit. in general there was lots of visiting and of course the kids run amok with the dogs. All in all a very nice day.

It is 107 degrees outside! Holy smokes! Good thing we are heading to the coast where it is sure to be cooler… Almost there.

We made it to Red Bluff and now we get a little time to chill by the pool… Okay maybe not chill since it is 100 degrees out!

We found the Family Fun Center again… Stopping certainly helps to break up the drive!

We lived on the edge and just followed our fearless GPS leader to a museum along I-5 and it was a great success! We saw the most complete T-Rex skeleton (yes I read all the details!) and we saw a very cool bird and butterfly exhibit. All and all a complete success! Now only five more hours tomorrow… Oh boy…
