We made our first family trip to a Florida attraction this week by heading over to the Florida Aquarium in celebration of Father's day! The weekend had a rocky start (Lucky the horse trampled a fence and escaped Saturday morning, the air conditioner broke Saturday night, and Mommy's car broke down Sunday morning), but we didn't let that stop us! We headed from church to the aquarium, where, in honor of Father's Day, all fathers got free admission and, since kids two and under are free, Mommy's was the only ticket we had to purchase :-D. Daddy chose our destination with Quintin's enjoyment in mind, and by that standard alone, the day was an awesome success! Quintin loved looking at all of the exhibits, but was particularly excited by the sharks, sea turtle, and rays. He was fascinated by the touch tanks, where he got to feel star fish & rays, and had a great time playing in the shell play area on the second floor with Daddy. When the aquarium closed at 5:00, we headed over to Miguel's Mexican restaurant for dinner with Granddaddy, Nana, Uncle Mike, Aunt Tanya, Makayla, Aunt Trisha, and Uncle Alex. Fortunately, dinner didn't start until 6:30, since Quintin fell asleep in the truck and got in an hour long nap while Mommy & Daddy circled the Tampa restaurant (fortunately, we had lots of gas, lol!). On the ride home from the wonderful family dinner, we called Grandpop & Grammie and got caught up with the New Jersey news :-). We're so thankful for the chance to celebrate the incredible dads in our lives!
