max is off of school all week for winter break.  finn was off from school today since it is president's day.  i took the whole week off.  boy do i feel i need it.  it has been a rather stressful few months at work lately and i need some time to just chill out.  today, i took both boys to half moon bay.  unfortunately the weather wasn't nice but it wasn't nice in santa clara either.  we took lots of snacks, got a starbucks coffee for me on the way and had a nice drive to the coast.  there, we went for a mini hike and a stroll on the beach so the boys could just run and play and work off some energy.  after that, we had lunch at half moon bay brewery and sat right beside the fish tank which was a hit with max and finn.  on the way back, they were both very sleepy and when we got home, they both actually slept.  even max.  and me too.  the rest of the day we just hung out and played and relaxed.  the best part about today is that there has been no ipad use and only a little bit of TV.  the boys played pretty well together and had some snuggle time on the upper bunk together where they read books and ate crackers.  pretty adorable.  it has been a good day.
