We are extremely lucky this week as esteemed author Jeremy Adam Smith will be joining us for our little playgroup.  He recently wrote The Daddy Shift, which charts the rise of us stay at home dads.  I read the book and you should too: go buy it!  He has done some cool stuff and we are lucky to have him.  Wanna check out more about him?  Look at his website. I have heard him speak on a radio show and he can give one hell of a talk.  We'll have to see if he can do so while drinking beer!

We are going to the Berkeley Aquatic Park. There are a few big play structures, swings, lots of grass for playing on, and a path for the big kids to ride bikes on. (Kinda similar to Orinda park, but more fog and hippies.) Aquatic Park is just south of University Avenue, between Highway 80 and San Pablo. The easiest approach is to take 6th Street and turn down Bancroft (heading west, toward the water), crossing the train tracks, then turn left on the road that just parallels the water.

Here is a map.  Let's have a great turnout!
