Fun in the park and my mom's guilt

My mom apologizes for not updating the blog for so long. She has been really busy at work. And when not at work, she has been busy trying to appease her guilt for leaving me to go on a stupid business trip. She went to Houston and left me with dad...yeah, I am surprised I survived too. She was supposed to be gone for 4 days, but Mother Nature thought it was wrong for her to leave as well, so she conjured Hurricane Ike and mom was evacuated back home early. Luckily all her friends in Houston seemed to have survived ok from the hurricane and I got my mom back, so all ended up ok.

The nice thing about my mom feeling guilty is that she made sure we had lots of fun before she left and after she returned. We went to parks and aquariums and saw animals and rode horses. So maybe she should leave more often. Of course she photographed every second of our time together.

We will start with parks in this entry.

Dennis the Menace Park, Monterey, August 31st, 2008
This was a very cool park in Monterey, but I think I would appreciate it more when I am older. Cousins Sebastian and Isabelle will love this park and I will insist we go to it when they come for Christmas

Cool suspension bridge. When big kids would run on it, I would fall. Otherwise it was fun. Daddy helped me cross it
