July 31, 2007--Day of Rest??

We all woke up this morning pretty tired from the previous day's worth of events. The kids still got up by 7:00 a.m., but they were dragging still. Rebecca and I packed up the hotel room while the kids ate breakfast. We had to run out and get Noah a gift or two from Jacob and Jonah. We headed out of San Francisco by noon and as we drove towards Half Moon Bay, the weather went from sunny to misty and foggy (normal most of the time). We stopped in Half Moon Bay for lunch. If we had been without kids, there would have been many little shops and antique places that would have been fun. Alas, we moved on to drive through Santa Cruz to our hotel in Watsonville. The kids had a great time at the pool, we ate dinner at the Chinese restaurant the front desk recommended. Jonah loved the tea we had, and Noah had his best manners on display as he politely requested fortune cookies as soon as we got there. We got a 'private room' to eat in--they probably saw (or just heard) us coming and suggested we eat in our own room to control the noise. You know our boys, neither quiet, nor shy!

After a quick dinner, we headed back to the hotel where they boys were out in no time, thanks to our late night the night before. Jacob and Rebecca went back out in pursuit of a breakfast treat for Noah's birthday, Robb put the other 2 boys to bed. By the time Jacob got home and to bed, the other boys were gone to this world, and Jacob shortly followed. So much so that we got to watch some TV and relax even just in the same room as them.

Tomorrow it's off to the Boardwalk for Noah's birthday. He's so excited!
