Cabrillo Aquarium

After it rained a few weeks ago we took a trip out to LA to see Riverdance and visit my sister. I guess they didn't see all over the news that San Pedro was flooded and had massive mud slides because they tried to take us on a trip to the tide pools. The original plan was to attend the Whale Festival, build a life size blue whale out of sand, etc. but we were a day early. After being ignored when I tried to warn of the flooding issues we arrived at the beach entrance and were turned away by Police. Apparently a HUGE section of the cliff had fallen and the beach was closed.

It was a pleasant surprise to learn that the Cabrillo Aquarium and their "touch and feel" tide pools were open. It was excellent. We saw all kinds of neat things including the breeding of jelly fish and a gigantic lobster. Here are the boys just outside the hatchery. Wesley was more excited about pulling Jaxon's hair than anything.

As a special bonus we went to a Thai food place that Johnny stated had the best Thai chicken wings in the world.

We leave for LA again tomorrow morning to visit family, watch the super bowl, celebrate my birthday, and plan our friend's bridal shower. Busy weekend! Some time in there I want Johnny to take me on a date to the Cheesecake Factory. We will see if that happens.

Update on Johnny's work or lack thereof...we are #17 on the list and waiting a call. We keep hearing there are big jobs coming that will take a good amount of apprentices at once. In the mean time I am being spoiled having my husband home with me every day. I love it and the boys love it! We have fun going on walks and playing at the park. We pick a new park every day and hit up story/craft time at the library frequently. Today Daniel's Hummer ran out of batteries half way through the walk. Johnny hitched up the two dogs and made it into a sled which the boys LOVED, but to tell the truth pulling that Hummer with the two boys almost killed my parent's poor old Sophia. She was down for the count!
