Trip

We had the best little getaway. We went to San Jose, and took two day trips. One to the beach in Santa Cruz, and the other to Monetary and went to the aquarium. We stayed with my cousin Janice, and had so much fun.

Daddy I saw a dolphin! Ad loved seeing the dolphin she's still talking about it to anyone who will listen and still telling those who don't want to hear about it.
She LOVED the beach! It was so much fun to see her enjoy walking in the sand... barefoot. She does not like sand getting in her shoes. I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to bury her, but she thought it was fun and joined in helping.
We caught sand crabs. She was brave to hold them, and kept wanting to get them again after we would watch them burrow in the sand.
My cousin Janice had this amazing dog. Addie loved Bailey. She would cuddle up next to her She was so cute. At first she would copy what they would tell the dog to do. Bailey no barking. Then she became little miss bossy telling the dog all sorts of stuff. She kept playing in the dogs water, and trying to sneak the dog her snacks. Sometimes just pouring her snacks out into the dog dish. My favorite was she would talk to the dog telling her in sentences, "Bailey I saw a dolphin." It was so funny.

She was amazed at the aquarium. She loved seeing all the different marine life. This turtle was a favorite, the sea horses (I learned these creatures are the only ones in the animal kingdom that the male gives birth a little crazy), and the penguins were really fun.

There was a really fun Splash Zone for kids. It had all kinds of interactive play things for children to do. She could have stayed up there all day.
She got soaked touching all of the different stuff in this area. She loved it!

We ate some yummy food. Had a chance to hang out in fun places and with fun people. We loved every minute of it.

Cute photos, I especially like the one of Addie covered in the sand! Glad that you were able to get away.

I loved the story about the dog and Addie! So sweet that she considered her a friend. I'm hoping Lanie feels like that with ours. I can't believe how big she is getting though. Its so cute that she was interested in all the different things at the aquarium.
