Tyler and Toby were very excited to leave for a long Easter weekend to San Diego. Here they are patiently waiting at the door to leave for our road trip to visit Lolo and Lola for Easter: Weather was great for the drive, but the typical 6-7 hour drive turned into 9.5 hours due to [...]

Disney on Ice

Friday, March 12, 2010 20:30 No Comments

We went to the Disney on Ice show one of these past weekends at the San Jose HP Pavilion. This particular show was “Worlds of Fantasy”. The show featured Cars , Ariel, Tinkerbell, Little Mermaid, and the Lion King. Because I have 2 boys, I thought this might be a better show then the previous [...]

We went to the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco this past weekend. It was a fun activity to do on a rainy weekend. The conservatory had a special exhibit from the Garden Rail Society. I had the expectation that there would be more trains to look at, but the Conservatory only had one wing [...]

Road Trip with Toby – Sunnyvale to Rancho Bernardo

Monday, November 16, 2009 6:04 No Comments

Left Sunnyvale at 8am, arrived in Rancho Bernardo at 4:30pm….not bad for a Sunday afternoon. At first I thought this was a huge mistake as we made our first stop at 8:30am at the Coyote Creek Golf Course. Turned out all Toby needed was his binky which had dropped earlier. He then quickly fell asleep [...]

We went to this pumpkin patch Oct. 17, 2009 with 4 boys in tow (ages 1,3,3,and 5). The weather was great. There were a lot of pumpkins to choose from. Each pumpkin you chose (I believe no matter what the size) is $7. They throw in 2 small gourds with your purchase. Wagons are provided [...]

Gilroy Gardens

This is the most toddler friendly amusement park that I’ve been to. I was also able to go on a few rides with my Toby which was great. As long as I could sit next to him (not on my lap) and I can still put my arm around him, then I was comfortable with [...]
