Florida Aquarium

We decided to celebrate Jim's day off for MLK day by visiting the Florida Aquarium down in Tampa. We told Katherine about it the night before and that morning when she woke up, Jim reminded her that we were going to "THE AQUARIUM" that was far away in another city (notice the emphasis on aquarium and not the location, per se). She was like a little Mexican jumping bean that morning, excited out of her senses. So excited that while trying to dress her she was literally jumping up and down, raising her hands in the air chanting, "We're going to a different city. We're going to a different city. We're going to a different city." Funny how they process information and what's exciting to them.

I'll just start out with my favorite photo of the day...
Highlights were:

• getting to spend a day with our family, away from the house, doing something fun
• getting in that much needed practice on short trips/vacations
• Nathan being a pleasant child even though he skipped out on his morning nap
• quietness on the way home
