Touristy Fun

I must have some pretty exciting days to think I should blog every day. I guess we just have good times. We did a couple new things that I thought Rocco might like. We went to the bell tower and took the ferry to the zoo. I had a free family ticket to the top of the bell tower, so we used it out before it expired next month. I'm glad we did, but it wasn't anything I would have been happy to have paid the normal $30.00 for, that's for sure. The viewing deck was only 6 floors up, which I thought was kind of silly. From the office I worked at (brief as that was) we had an amazing view from the 35th floor. So 6 didn't seem so impressive.

Rob, and the city from the platform of the bell tower.

Rob and Rocco and the bells.

Rocco wasn't digging the sun in his eyes.

I think I like taking the ferry better than the bus to the zoo. It's a bit more of a hassle, but it's cheaper than the bus, and I don't have to fold up the stroller. The busses that go out to the zoo are always the old ones that aren't handicapable. Which should be really nice when we live on side with those busses.
We'll see. 

We also went to the zoo, which isn't a new thing, but we did get to see the penguins, which haven't been available to see since we got here. They might be new, I don't know. They were little and cute.
 I always much prefer going to the zoo with Rob than just Rocco and I, so that was really nice he was able to come along. So, this is a video of Rocco on the slide that he looooves. It's kind of weird, but pretty fast, so he loves it.
