Summer is now officially over. For the last month, after the start of Kindergarten for Elsa, we have had a series of wonderful family outings to enjoy the greater Bay Area. In late August, we went up to the Russian river with some of my friends' families for fun in the redwood trees and river.
In early September we went down to Monterey for my triathlon and a visit to the aquarium - where each new thing Elsa saw elicited a "wow" and there were according to her endless "wows". That's a rave review from a 5 year old.
Then last week we headed down to Santa Cruz for fun on the Beach Boardwalk - Elsa loves the thrill rides like her mommy. Liam loved digging in the sand. Arne liked the 100 year old Wurlitzer organs that played at the carousel. One of them came from the original Playland in San Francisco.
While summer is now officially over, we are excited for the adventures fall will bring.
