We’ve been relaxing at the Hilton Bayside in San Diego for a few days since we were feeling burned out. It’s given me time to catch up on my blog and do a little paid editing work as well.
We haven’t gone much farther than the parking lot to take Carmanah for walks and the pool. We can see the pool from our room and the water is lit up purple at night. It’s been just a bit too windy to be really warm lately, but Morgane’s been enjoying it while we watch from the hot tub.
We are also amused by watching Dole banana shipping containers being unloaded just behind the hotel. They came on a boat from Costa Rica and they get put onto trucks and driven off to deliver bananas to California and who knows where else.
Morgane and I did get over to the children’s museum and I’m glad – it was really cool! Visually, it’s very artistic. Each exhibit seems to have been put together by a different artist and there are lots of opportunities for kids to make art as well.
Morgane loved riding the push cars even though there were lots of traffic jams! She also loved the rain house (it’s always raining on the roof) and the climbing ropes (she was proud to be the only one who got to the top).
Then we started building with kapla and she ended up making a tower as tall as herself. She had fun knocking it down, too. She made a quick dolphin out of clay and then, unfortunately, they were closing for the day.
I liked the giant Trojan Horse called a Toy-an Horse.
