Cement Slides= Seriously Awesome Fun!

When we booked our tickets for San Francisco I knew I wanted to do as many fun toddler things as possible.  Luckily for us, all the fun toddler things were fun for adults too.  When I saw this link on A Cup of Jo I put cement slides at the top of our vacation plans.

They were AWESOME!!!!  Apparently they are all over the city but we just went to two different parks to check them out.




Joel and the Jbear trekking up to the top and sliding down verrrrry fast.


I just realized the scared look on his fast but trust me he LOVED it.  The second we got to the bottom he was ready to go back up again.

I also loved how there were signs that read: Adults must be accompanied by a Child!  Woot woot... so happy we had one of those with us!

an afternoon at the aquarium

We drove down to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium at the beginning of our trip.  I was SO excited to go because it's been ages since I've been to an aquarium and I was pumped about checking out the jellyfish!!  Since our friends, Dan and Kathryn, had off they came with us.


An hour into the drive I look back and see this scene.






Nothing is in focus here but I still love Jbear's look of curiosity!










We had some fun with poorly composed silhouette shots against the jellyfish tanks.


My son and I with our matching lower lips.


I won't ever tire of taking photos of Kathryn and Dan




Stopping for lunch in Monterrey.  Seriously, my kid loves lemons! (well actually here it looks like he hates them but I promise you he continued eating that slice)
