Saturdays are supposed to be lazy, right? Well after Brent and I went to Beckenridge he decided that we needed to do a family thing instead of just watching movies and being lazy all day. We picked up the kids from their nana's house and off we went. We decided to head to the beach and try the Aquarium. Last time we went, Taylor couldn't handle the fish tunnels and screamed the entire time . . . we were taking a chance.
The drive was peaceful, both kids fell asleep. When we got to Newport - it was beautiful! The sun was shining, both kids woke up and were so surprised that we were at the beach. Brent and I were going back and forth on if we should go to the Aquarium or just walk the old bay front and window shop for financial reasons but we decided to go to the Aquarium anyways. As we are walking towards the entrance, this guy stops us and hands us tickets. There were 2 children and 2 adult tickets that had not been torn and were still valid. He said that he was with a group and they didn't take his tickets. Now normally I would not take them but it's $50.00 for us to get in and we can't afford that. I walked up - handed my tickets to the lady - and she let us in. It was a blessing. The kids had so much fun (and so did we!)
I am glad to report that both kids did great, no crying this time. They got to touch sea urchins, Japanese sharks and even a sting ray. All in all, it was a great day!
