Staycation...

I decided to take a week off work to spend w/Bryce and Erik- thinking tho Erik isn't working it will be nice to spend time together. So people at work were asking where we were going for "vacation" and when I told them we were staying home and maybe doing a few things close to home they told me it's a "staycation" soooooooooooooooo......Oh, ok well that's pretty much the standard for us so we I think we are master staycationers..is that a word?

Day 1~ Mommy and Daddy time in Napa

Today, Day 2 of the staycation we took Bryce to the SF Zoo. His first time to the zoo and it was an absolutely gorgeous day in San Francisco..could not have asked for a nicer day. Alot has changed in the 30 plus years since I have been there...go figure. I am happy, very happy to report they have resurrected the infamous "key". For those who remember...it's cool (and NO the old ones won't work) and for those who don't know this is a plastic animal shaped (elephant) key and the trunk inserted and turned plays a recorded message about the animal. We found 4~ but Bryce didn't really get that- oh well some day :)

We cruised all around the 65 acres and had a ball- plenty of fresh air, lots of kids, a few screaming kids and alot of great animals. Unfortunately many of the exhibits and animals were not open, the train was under maintenance and blah, blah...so it was for me a little disappointing, but Bryce doesn't know the difference. No seals, and I ask you what kind of a Zoo doesn't have an Elephant? Oh well, all the same it was a very nice day with a lovely view of the ocean driving down ocean blvd.
