The Linda Family

We have survived This mornings post was posted during breakfast, we’re now approaching dinner time, well, at least dinner time for our east coast bodies.  It’s almost 4:30, and I feel like it’s bed time!  But, luckily the time difference has meant that we’re up early and we were even at Zeum before they opened!  Who would have thought Ashleigh and I would wake up, get ready, eat breakfast, and be some where before they opened for the day?  Not me!

This morning after we ate Wes stopped back at the hotel to look for his packages before we had left the lobby.  We waited around with him and Ashleigh found the video game in the lobby.  It has Astroids and Ms. Pac Man.  She was playing  and having a blast.  Daddy played with her for a while as well.

We stopped back at the room and headed off to Zeum.  We arrived 5 minutes before they opened and joined the line.  It turns out today was their 10 year anniversary and they were doing free admission, but only for an hour at a time.  They also offered goodie bags and trick or treat candy.  Ashleigh was very excited with her bag of M&Ms and even happier that the bag contained a free coupon for the Merry-Go-Round.

We walked through Zeum, but it was hard to figure out what was what through the crowd and insanity.  We hit the claymation center and made clay figurines.  They had wire people shapes and blocks of clay to wrap around the form to make people.  She also wanted to make a mask, so we tried that, but she got bored.  We eventually gave up and hit the merry-go-round, which really was the highlight of the day.  Wes finished what he was doing and came to meet us.  Ashleigh was thrilled to look up and see Daddy waving at her.

After the ride we decided to walk to find some lunch, and Wes was hoping to find the FedEx Kinkos to have some posters printed.   We found FedEx/Kinkos but, they were unable to print what he needed.  We tried Office Depot too, but alas, no luck.  So, back to the room we headed, where Ashleigh was able to watch a movie, and I took a much needed nap.  I haven’t been feeling well, so I was excited to get some relaxing time in.  I also took some photos of the view out of our room.  We’re on the 30th floor, looking out towards the Bay Bridge.
