@ The Aquarium

Last Saturday I tagged along w/my brother and his family and we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I had only been there once before, but it was almost 5 years ago (1st year anniversary) so it was like been there for the 1st time again. We got kinda lost on our way there, so that suck, but other than that I think we all enjoyed it.

Mimi

Took some photos of this little girl last week, but had not finished editing. I've used my camera more this past week than in the past month. I still need to post some pics from the aquarium (went this Saturday).
I'm happy to write that my little list that I made on the 1st day of my vacation is almost complete. It was more like 2 lists actually; one of things I needed to do and one of things I wanted to do. Yesterday I completed the needed to do =) and hopefully by tomorrow night I complete my fun list =p
 
 
 
This kid is funny, if I ask her to smile for the camera she gives me this very "fake" smile, but if I do or say something silly and snap away I get some really cute & natural smiles. She's one of my best "models"
 
 
 
 
For this one, she hates having her pic take. So I asked her if I could take these w/her "dolls/buddies" and she agree, I'll take what I can get =)

We went bowling... =)

Took these ladies bowling on my 4th day of vacation. They had never been (bowling) and they enjoyed it and of course I did too =) The nieces, deft. want to go back =) We bowled for 2hrs, then we went to the park and enjoyed the nice sunny-but-cool weather for a while.
After today I only have 2 week days off, but I can say I have enjoyed my stay-cations.

Trip to the Oakland Museum

So today is my 3rd day of being on vacation =) Since I/we don't get to get out of town, I decided I wasn't going to stay @ home and let my vacations pass me by just sitting in front of the t.v or using the laptop. I've decided that even if I stay local there's things to do besides house cleaning.
I found a good deal last week on groupon for the Oakland Museum and got it. So today, my SIL Lorena and my 3 nieces and myself went to the museum. Since I had not been there in over 15 years (boy that makes me feel old) and my nieces had not been there,it was a nice experience =) Specially for the 2nd one that loves drawing and art. She's really good @ it! We saw some interesting stuff and stayed there for almost 3 hours, overall it was GOOD =)

5k run or dye fun!

After getting the tickets for this marathon/walk-a-ton on March we finally got to do it today =) It was fun! The weather was nice after being extremely warm the past week, so that was a plus. We started really nice and clean and ended up a mess. A colorful mess!
Overall it was a cool experience that I would be willing to repeat, if I got the ticket 1/2 price again ;p
*All of these pics where taken w/my cell. Except the last one on the right, which was taken w/one of my co-worker's cell.*

Did this w/3 co-workers and one of my sister-in-law.
