Museum Spoiled!

The East Bay is truly missing a great Children’s Museum and believe me, I’ve searched far and wide. Today we checked out Habitot out in Berkeley, and I was pretty disappointed; it was tiny, smelled odd, took 45 minutes to park and was an hour drive in traffic.

But the boys did have fun for awhile  while I tried to adjust my sour grapes attitude of annoyance.

If anything, I got some cute pics of the boys being their silly selves, and I felt grateful for the amazing opportunity we had in Houston last year, home of the best Children’s Museum in the country. Not shockingly, the boys were ready to leave after about 30 mins as well. So yes, I fully admit we are all museum spoiled!  Here’s to hoping the East Bay will one day follow in Houston’s footsteps.

Rain, Rain, Don’t Go Away!

Gus and I are both solar-powered, humidity-loving sun-worshippers, but even we appreciate a lil’ rain now and then! A shower here and there is all the Bay has gotten all winter. A rainy day walk seemed fitting since who knows when it will be back!

And not surprisingly, it was just a little sprinkle now and then, but the boys still LOVED the whole “crazyness” of taking a rainy walk into downtown. Please come back soon, Rain! WE NEED YOU!!!
