CALIFORNIA COAST ROAD TRIP – DAY 4
MY BIRTHDAY EDITION
I think information technology's obvious by now that I'm a few days behind on posts.
My birthday was exhausted in Santa Barbara . I had a altogether sidereal day planned. It didn't turn out quite how I expected though and just quiet, there were a few tears held back … I know, poor me.
My day started with this:
Yep. The little person midmost had his ain bed, but ostensibly mine was more comfortable. I would feature squeezed in next to the bigger fry World Health Organization had an entire big bed to himself, but naturally he was sprawled crossways the integral thing.
Breakfast at our hotel was close at 10:30 and we made it to the restaurant with seconds to surplus. Nobody could seem to get organized that morning. Later breakfast we came back to the room so I could get over up a web log post, so hubby took the little ones impossible for a manner of walking to give me some peace and quiet. They came back with a bottle of champagne and the twins sang happy natal day to me. I had a few mimosa's and we took off for the day. I had wanted to go to the Biology Gardens and Alice Keck Memorial Park for the day. Nice, lull, family activities. Little did I know that the Botanical Gardens had been massively burned-over away the Recent epoch fires, so much a shame and there was a festival natural event in the Alice Keck Memorial Ballpark. Eek. Past then it was 2pm. Flynn had pooped in the machine (we had no wipes) and we accomplished we'd forgotten Marisol's asthma medicament. So back to the hotel we went to pick up everything we'd forgotten. On the way of life out hubby picked me up an assortment of beverages to savor in the car while we definite what to do with the rest of the day.
We ended up driving down to the pier … I must have a thing for pier's.
This is what he was making. How creative. I blue-eyed it and had to rich person one.
We visited the Ty Warner Seagoing Center which was fantastic. It's out on the pier and you can memorise all nigh the sea life of the area. At that place were few men on areas for the kids which they soundly loved and it was very educational.
Baby sharks
This octopus had eggs. We learned that she will die briefly after they hatch. Apparently female octopuses reject to eat after egg laying their eggs, instead they put all of their energy into lovingness for them.
Then we decided to go for a ride along the boardwalk. Something that in altogether of our trips to the area we I had wanted to Doctor of Osteopathy. The Twins absolutely idolised it. They Sat dormie front and rang the bell. Jay and Ran peddled their teensy-weensy hearts out, sign them. Mama sat in back snapping pictures with her feet up.
The 24-hour interval was ended with mama doing a little antique hunt, getting a new Disrespectful video camera (afterwards my old video camera definite to pass away a couple of days in the first place), feeding pizza at the Advisable pizza place I've ever been too Rusty's Pizza and so heading to Cold Stone for Methedrine cream.
All-in-all my day ended up being pretty great ultimately.
