Elena explores

After all these years, the Exploratorium is still the place to be. What a fun spot for all of us and even though Elena is still fighting a double ear infection, she explored the heck out of that Exploratorium with all the energy of her three (and almost a half) years. The trip, I'll admit, was a tad rough. We walked in the wind yesterday for an hour before we realized that Fisherman's Wharf was just too far to walk. We eventually caught a trolley but I'll tell ya', the state of us was something to be seen. The Pier was PACKED and the only restaurant available was possibly the worst food we've ever eaten. It was so bad in fact that it caused fits of hysterical laughter. Elena was wise and ate nothing - turns out her fever had come back and she was just feeling crummy. She did rally for a few minutes when we entered The Candy Baron for saltwater taffy.

Oh and I rear-ended the car in front of us on the way back. It's funny, though. It still felt like an awfully nice weekend away. Either we need to get out more or we just like being together. I choose the latter.
