Carolyn was up all night, so we took our time getting to breakfast. She's been a little congested, and even nursing wasn't making her feel any better... she would cry even harder and push away if I would offer. Thankfully, during the day she seems to feel fine. I think it's just the dry air in the hotel room that's making her nose get all stuffed up.
After breakfast, we came back to the room and let the kids rest for the morning while I made plans and connections with local henna artists. Then we packed ourselves up and went to In N Out for lunch, followed by an outing to the Santa Ana Zoo (here's a link to the flickr set I have with photos from this zoo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elizebeth_joy/sets/72157622948295406/ ). Tyme had never been there before, so it was fun showing him around. Carmen always amazes me - she could see an exhibit far up the path, and ask "Can we go see the ____?" She would inevitably be correct about the type of animal that was in there, even if it had a hard name, or wasn't especially exciting to look at. Her memory is amazing, and just a little scary sometimes.
We stayed until they practically kicked us out at 5, and then debated dinner. We decided to just drive around and look for a hole in the wall taqueria. In this part of town, that's not a hard search. We found one pretty quickly and were pretty pleased with the results. There was a crazy fast commuter train that goes right behind the restaurant, so when we were done eating, we walked around the back and waited for the next train to zoom by. Both the girls squealed like mad when the 80 mile an hour train blasted by about 20 feet from where we stood.
We headed back to the hotel after dinner and settled in for the evening. It wasn't the most exciting day, but it was very satisfying spending time with Tyme and the kids.
