This year Zack's birthday coincided with an open water swim event in Santa Cruz that Christina took part in. So we took Zack on the road for his birthday! After a private birthday party at home on Wednesday evening, we headed to the Bay Area and stayed over at the Svendsens and Montoyas. Both families were very generous with the celebrations that they planned for Zack. Christina made a space shuttle and planet themed birthday cake that Zack was extremely pleased with. For many months Aiden has wanted a Star Wars light saber and we promised him that when Zack is 2 years old they can each get one. So now we have Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobe battling it out in the house. On Saturday morning we headed to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk with the Montoyas. While Christina was swimming we walked down the pier, saw the sea lions and played on the beach. After a lunch at the boardwalk we drove to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Fortunately both boys napped really well in the car, so by the time we arrived in Monterey they were rested. The aquarium is really amazing for the kids and both boys were in awe at the beautiful marine life displays and educational activities.
