Today we lived out the best of being homeowners in the Sunset.<\/p>\n
We woke up, and the kids sat in our bed, and watched cartoons. When we finally woke ourselves up, we got dressed, and headed to breakfast. But not in any old way. We hopped on our bikes, threw the kids in their seats, and headed into the park. Breakfast was great, and then…<\/p>\n
We headed to the Zoo.<\/p>\n
The bike ride to the zoo is fantastic. It’s along the ocean. It’s free of car traffic. And you’re there before you know it. It was so, so windy, but that’s not too big of a deal.<\/p>\n
The morning was seeing the red panda (new to the zoo), the new insects, the goats, the big cats, and then playing with model boats on a simulated river that they setup by the penguins. It was fantastic!<\/p>\n
We headed to lunch back on Judah, I had a killer cheeseburger, and then we came home.<\/p>\n
I don’t think either of us could imagine a better day… and we know how lucky we are to have it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
