We decided today that 103 degrees wasn't fun for anyone so we beat a not-so-hasty-as-it-turned-out retreat to lovely Sausalito to go to the Bay Area Discovery Museum. We left at 1 - we hit traffic - we got there about 3:30. Yikes. They close at 5. Still, they have a whole outdoor area and an indoor area for kids Jake's age to explore. He liked the two-level "tree" and made a foxy friend (pictured). There's a stream and burrows and all kinds of fun stuff. Then we went to the wave lab and played with more water. Awesome. Then we went to Lookout Cove where there were all sorts of cool things to climb on and play with that were part play structure and part art. It was like Burning Man for kids. Only not hellishly hot and, you know, wearing clothes. The location of this place is amazing, there's all kinds of fun stuff to play with and I just really wish it wasn't so darn far. The drive was not worth it. Especially since it took us about the same amount of time to get back. Although, we did stop for dinner at the Blue Frog in Fairfield (we wanted to hit Fenton's at the Nut Tree but traffic was just too terrible). Anyway, a fun time was had by all. Pictures!!

I do hate fighting I-80 traffic on the weekends! aybe when they get all the construction finished...but as soon as they finish one part, they start on another. I'm glad you had a nice time anyway. The next time you go, Jake's nap schedule will e different and you can travel at a different time of the day. {: >
