Exploratorium

Perspective room - Big Vivi, little Daddy

It's hard to tell from the photo, but this mirror made it look like you could shake your own hand.

A spinning circus tent. Made you feel dizzy even when you weren't moving.

Only toddlers seemed brave enough to drink out of the (never used) toilet drinking fountain.

Fun with Emma

We met up with old friends - and they have a 3 year old too! 

Emma and Vivi were instant buddies.

lots of giggling from this pair

Look at those dirty feet - and that was AFTER bath time.

Whale watching

I went whale watching. I saw grey whales and humpbacks.

But my favorite was the 500 dolphins we saw!
