Day 2 San Jose...

The second day in San Jose we attempted to swim a bit in the morning... I decided it was too cold to go in and Madi and Drew decided it was too cold after about 10 minutes. We hung out down by the pool though as we had it all to ourselves and it was relaxing. After the pool, we got ready for the day. We went walking to find lunch and decided to eat outside at this little bakery/cafe that was just a couple blocks from the hotel. The food was really good and Drew's sandwich was a hit... Crunchy peanut butter with whole cranberry sauce and piled high with apple slices and banana! Seemed like and odd combination but super yummy! It was also gorgeous for eating outside.


After lunch, Madi and Drew wanted to show Daddy the Tech Museum -- he met us there after his conference. We watched another IMAX about the Hubble telescope and a mission into Space to fix it. Madi and Daddy built robots in the Got Bots? section...

Madi's awesome creation.

After the robot building we found a whole new section we hadn't even discovered the day before. It had a whole area of space with rovers to maneuver around, a space walk chair and game, an earthquake simulation platform and so much more. It was another successful day at the museum.

After the museum, it had warmed up outside and the fountain splash area looked like a lot of fun to Madi and Drew... So we let them go in, clothes and all. :) They had a great time running through the fountains.

After playing in the fountains, we went back and changed and then headed to Santa Cruz. Unfortunately everything had already closed up for the day by the time we had gotten there so it was really uneventful but the drive was pretty at least and the kids had fun playing in the sand by the cold ocean.
