Dallas World Aquarium

OK, I realize I should have been blogging all summer, but I haven't. I just read a friend's blog (thanks for posting Laura) and got inspired...

We went to the Dallas World Aquarium with the Dubcaks today. Zachary was excited about our outing--not about the fish and animals, but that we were going to get to ride the TRAIN!! He is still a train nut, and now he has ridden on 2 trains.

After riding the TRE and DART, we still had to walk to the Aquarium. We were lucky that a man saw the lost look on our faces and pointed us in the right direction. The line was extremely long when we got there, so we went to eat at Spaghetti Warehouse for lunch..YUMMY.

When we got back to the aquarium, the line was much shorter so we got in line and waited until our turn. The animals along the path kept our attention until we got to the window. A sign on the window warned us that there would be 450 school children at the facility. We were thinking that since it was well after noon, the students would probably be long gone. Nope. There were kiddos EVERYWHERE! We still got to see everything, it was just crowded. Zachary loved seeing the penguins and flamingos (Baby Einstein prepared us for those!!), and he loved the monkeys, too.

Lesson learned...call and make sure there are not 450 school children scheduled on the same day!

Zach fell asleep during the train ride home, so he is playing in his room instead of taking a nap. Maybe he will sleep well tonight...
