Vacation!!

It's vacation time!! Kyle didn't take any time off last summer and realized he's been getting a little burned out from work. He took this week off so we could relax and spend time together as a family. We talked about going on a road trip but he drives so much for work that we finally planned a stay-cation instead. 

We bought a membership to the San Francisco zoo this spring so we started the week off with a trip to the zoo! Kyle and I love going there and walking around and Parker thoroughly enjoys running around saying hello to the animals and throwing pennies in the fountain. It was the perfect day--we got some exercise and the kids were worn out after a few hours! 

Wednesday we went out to Gilroy Gardens. We hadn't been there before but we kept hearing it was great for toddlers. It totally is! It's a little amusement park made for young kids. Parker could go on almost everything--there were only a couple rides he was too small for. One of us had to ride with him on some of them, which was fun for us, too!  :) Poor little Elise does so well sitting in her stroller all day. I was going to take her on a ride before we left but she fell asleep so she missed out this time.

Tomorrow I think we're headed to Monterey to see the aquarium. The last time we went was before Parker was born so it'll be nice to go back and show it to him now. He loves looking at fish and weird things, so this should be pretty exciting for him. 

It's been great having Kyle home all week! He's been work really hard and has had some long days this  summer. He definitely needed the rest. ....although I'm not sure how much rest he's getting, going out with us every day!
