forestofgloryOn the stomach bug front E came down with a mild case and recovered quickly, and I haven't got it at all. R is now recovered, but he was shaky for a day there.
On the power front our power went out around 10pm Saturday night. Sunday morning it was still out and the entire house smelled like smoke, from the fires in Sonoma. I checked the air quality online and it was solidly in the red "unhealthy" zone. Last year we got some air filters to help deal with this type of thing but they need power to work.
So we somewhat haphazardly decided to get out of the house for the day and drove off to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, where we have membership. The drive seemed to take an extra long time but we got there in the end. Its really a fabulous aquarium. N is mostly just interested in the hands on kids stuff rather than looking at the actual fish, but she seemed a bit more interested in the fish than last time. We sat an looked at the deep ocean tank together for a bit. I also got to spend some time watching the sea otters play when very few other people where around.
The drive back was also long, and the place we stopped for dinner was not as quick as we hoped. However the air quality got better while we where away which was good. We where all very tried when we got home. (I had planned to do a lot of reading yesterday while the power was out, but that didn't happen, I barely read anything.)
This morning the air quality was bad again and we still don't have power. We might get power back sometime today? But its supposed to be out again all day tomorrow, due to more high winds. I'm at work where we do have power so I'm charging things. R and E have plans to take N somewhere inside this afternoon after preschool. So that's the current status.
