Ortega Park

Just another decent park.  It was fairly busy on a Saturday because there was like baseball or something in a nearby field so it was hard to find a place to park.  Right next to a school.  But it's away from the busy road so that's nice.

The "Castle"

The whole time we were at the park, Addy called these tower thingies her castles.

Water play area which is nice if you plan on it, not so much when you're just randomly exploring parks.

 

Why do so many of these parks have climbing walls?

 I really have to choose my battles with Adelaide.  So she often goes out and about in either a princess dress or her fairy wings.  Apparently they don't get in her way.

The coarse sand was actually kind of nice.  It doesn't stick as much as the finer sand does.

They aren't usually this nice in the car

A Rose

Check out this rose from our church.  Very pretty.  Looks pretty big too.  How big is it?  Here is a nine month old baby for comparison purposes.

Kyle's Tech Blog.

Shameless plug.

So I decided to try my hand at a tech blog. It seems all the cool kids are doing it these days. I intend to cover things that I find cool in Haskell, or parts of work that I can talk about (Mainly if I contribute to an opensource project).  Some µController programming and Electronics. Probably some category theory or math that I find interesting.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, check it out. If you read the last paragraph and went "Huh Wut?", please find someone you think might find it interesting, and give them the link. It's a public blog, and I'd like to have an audience.

The Dennis the Menace Playground

Nice Park, but a little too far to be practical.

Ha.  Just kidding.  This is an AWESOME playground.  It's more like a mini amusement park than a true blue park.  So here is a run down of the way cool things here.

A huge train for climbing on.

Climbing wall.

Bouncy bridge between two hills.

 

Various tunnels.  Who is that guy?  I don't know.  Apparently Kyle has no qualms about taking stranger's pictures like I do.

Enormous slides.

Huge bridge arch thingy

Playground type stuff.

 Bush maze with lookout tower.

Nearby paddle boat rentals.

Umm... I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to be.

Here are some shots of us enjoying ourselves.

There were some signs saying how far we were from different cities.  Bonus points to whoever figures out where we are without looking at the end of this post.

Downsides?  

It was a little crowded on a Saturday.  Parking is scarce.  It is in Monterey so it's a bit of a drive just to visit.  

But this park is so awesome we will definitely come here the next time we are in Monterey.
