Carry you through...

After spending a great deal of the Thanksgiving break knocking items off our 'to do' list, Den and I decided to hoof it downtown to the Natural History Museum. We figured Ed would get a kick out of the dinosaurs (he'd never been) and with Den getting ready to go away, an afternoon of the four of us sounded appealing.

Eddie was taken by the giraffe. He doesn't remember it, but Sept. of 06, he actually fed a giraffe in Santa Barbara (posted about it). We weren't sure about two strollers versus one, or even if we should try the double stroller. We opted for 2. I'm inclined to think the double would have been nice as we both spent a lot of time carrying a child and pushing an empty stroller. Oh well.

It was a great time--well except for the 30 minutes it took to find a parking spot (they really have eliminated a lot of spots) and the last 30 minutes when both kids decided they'd had enough quality museum time. There were 2 hours in between, during which Eddie got a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles and mom got a giant ladybug sugar cookie. Yum. They had good tasting nutrious food too. Much improved from years past.
