Bay Area Discovery Museum

 We have so many great museums relatively close to us and the Cramer's asked us to spend Sunday with them at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and we couldn't wait to go.  I had heard great things but we hadn't checked it out yet!  It's free for military so another plus!

We couldn't have picked a better day because the weather was just gorgeous!  

The museum is right by the Golden Gate Bridge and it has just great views!

We met Todd, Hannah, and Ollie down there and before we found them Riley spotted some hoola hoops or "hoola loops" as she calls them and she put on a show with her amazing skills...this girl can go all day long!

 We found Ollie at this great indoor playplace and then we went outside to an area with water where the kids can get wet!
 There were so many buildings and different exhibits we could have spent days checking it all out!  We didn't have the time for that so we will have to make several more trips back to check out more things!

They had a great outdoor play area with ships, a mini Golden Gate bridge, and all kinds of structures.  Jason and Riley played pirates for quite some time!
 The view of the bridge was just great!
 Tessa had fun too and even got to ride on Daddy's shoulders!
 We took some pics in front of the bridge before we left!
 Flying baby!
 After all that fun we found a great french restaurant in Sausalito and headed there for some grub!  So many sail boats out on the bay taking advantage of the great weather!
 There was a little bit of a wait at the restaurant but luckily there was a beach just a few steps away so that kept the kiddos entertained!
 Fingers in the sand!
 Riley buried herself!
She was a bit messy when it came time to eat but she had so much fun it was so worth it.  A trip to the bathroom to clean her up did the trick and then we enjoyed a fabulous lunch and all the kids were GREAT!

It was such a fun day...can't wait to do it again!
