great day in the bay

When surfing around looking for things to do in the Bay Area, I stumbled upon some one's Top 5 List for toddlers.

The Bay Area Discover Museum was listed first and I have to confer (we've done a lot in the Bay Area with the kids in the past year) this place was just plain great.

There wasn't anything Katie couldn't do there. And, there was a lot for Maddie to do as well which was really fun for someone who generally gets strapped into a stroller, Ergo, etc.

There was just so much to do there.

There were two different outside rivers to play in.

Real crappy view in the background, right?

And, a mini-version of The Bridge.

There was an entire art building where the kids loved a series of glass walls which they could paint, spray water on, squeegee off and start over again and again.

There are five plus buildings each with a different theme, and at least four plus outside areas for the kids to explore.

This building had a bunch of little coves to relax in. The big bonus: you lie on what are essentially water beds, and above you in the ceiling are actual fish swimming around.
We will definitely return to this place.
