california 2012 | day two

 Thursday morning we headed to Cabrillo National Monument. It had been four years since our last visit, we were excited to go back again. We arrived a little early so we stopped by the military cemetery. Then we checked out the light house and watched the boats in the harbor.



 Down to the Tide Pools to search for crabs and star fish. Although we did not find any fish, Kevin and Kimble were able to find a crab hidden in the rocks. Karter and Koltyn were happy just getting their feet wet (Kimble avoided the water the as much as possible). I only had flip flops on so Kevin got to keep up with the little ones, but he didn't seem to mind getting wet along with the kids.



 We wanted to stop at Griffith Park on our way up to Santa Clarita, our next hotel location. The kids wanted to ride the ponies again and we were happy to let them. It is totally worth the three dollars to see the smiles on their faces. Koltyn got to ride a pony this year too, all by himself!



 Next, the Travel Town Museum to see the trains. The kids were surprised by how big the old trains and their wheels were. We even got to go inside a few of them, which was pretty cool.



 Our last stop in Griffith Park was at the Observatory. Last year we spent lots of time outside the museum, this year we explored more of the inside - electricity and the planets, two exhibits we somehow missed on our last visit.
