Bay Area Field Trips

i want to take my boys on more field trips. i need free things or places that might comp us in -- we have no budget and can't ask parents for money.

we've gone to the zoo and monterey aquarium in the past.

any ideas?

edit: i have written letters to various places (including the aquarium and the exploratorium). looking for ideas for places! thanks.

sleeping with the mowmows

they have both taken to sleeping on or in between my feet/calves at night. and when i wake up around 6 to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water Pillar often takes the invite that i give her to tunnel under the covers a bit and snuggle. then they both go back to my feet.

of this i approve.
