In a very short period of time, Ben was running around like nobody's business. Among other things, Ben visited the Totem Garden/sanctuary at Stanford University (I'm hoping that the spirits are glad that this little boy was having so much fun with them), played around the fantastic living sculpture/tunnel cave/structure in front of the Palo Alto Library and went to the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo. Also, Create It Ceramics and Glass Studio in the Town & Country Mall in Palo Alto is awesome. The Gamble Garden is a nice place for a walk in beautiful grounds.
In San Francisco (where we are originally from) we checked out the relatively new California Academy of Sciences Steinhart Aquarium. It has an environmental theme, and there is a multi-story butterfly sanctuary that is really cool and where butterflies literally land on you. Other really fun things to do are: the Bay Area Discovery Museum (which is right across the Golden Gate Bridge), the Exploratorium in the Palace of Fine Arts (located in San Francisco's Marina district), Alta Plaza Park in San Francisco's Pacific Heights is one of our favorite parks, has a great kid's playground and great views of the City, and the Farmer's Market at the San Francisco's Ferry Building.
