Thanks, Najm!

My Mother's Day was very quiet. I actually did not hear the pitter-patter of little feet, or whining, or crying, or the 3-year-old human alarm clock at 6:15am. Najm took Charlotte and Alexander away for the weekend, and Julian and I had a lovely break.

On Saturday they went to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo in San Jose. They enjoyed riding the rides and seeing the animals (those that did not jump up on them). Their favorite ride was the Ladybug, and Alexander particularly enjoyed going backwards on it.



On Sunday they visited the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. The kids had been asking to return since we first went more than two years ago, so they were very excited. Unfortunately some of their favorite exhibits had changed in the meantime, but they still had lots of fun, especially in the Water Room.



Thanks again, Najm! We appreciated the break and enjoyed seeing you while you were here. We'll see you in 31 days (at least by Charlotte's countdown).
