What a weekend!

As I write this… In the passenger seat of the family truckster, we are closing the end of a great weekend.

Jeffie was able to get Friday off from work, I was able to find cheapish hotel tickets, and the Puppy dog had all of his shots up to date. It was the perfect storm coming together.

It’s Friday morning, 7 am. Jeffie’s Uncle Greg was in Mobile, AL prepping, and would be wearing his arm out in 12 hours for Mardi Gras. We intended to see that.

(warning… Don’t read anymore if you don’t have high speed. More pictures than any post prior….)

The Stinking Cute edition…

Yesterday, we hit the Rainforest Cafe after Dance. The kids loved it. Those pictures are here:

Rainforest Cafe

Mary woke up in the morning wanting to go back for a Volcano… It’s obviously going to be a challenge to keep this a special treat. :)

Today has been a good day. A cold day, but good none the less.

You’ve heard of the Dog days of summer?

These are the dog days of Winter. It’s a bit different than yesterday.

Adventure Science!

So anyways… We bought a family membership to the Adventure Science Center in Nashville at the beginning of the Fall. The new Planetarium was open, and is usual for most of these places, if you go twice, you’ll pay the membership off.

We’ve been twice in the last week, which is surprising to me. But then again, it’s a large playground to them… It’s not like they are going to actually spoil the fun learning anything.

Who needs a cat?

Combine one laser pointer (conveniently located on an iphone charger) and one 11 week old German Shepard pup. Add two toddlers, shake, and enjoy. This video has been edited, as toddler B decided that he would pursue the red dot as well. Since I don’t care for a visit from the FBI, that footage has already been deleted.

Ok, So, I’m at home this morning, waiting on the new air conditioning and heating unit (Number 2!) to show up and replacing hard drives in my laptop. We’ll do that one in another post soon. This blog is definitely going to have the Feast and famine thing going for it in terms of content delivery.

ANYWAYS…. And then Jeffie comes driving up. 10ish. That’s not right.

Zoo Time

Jeffie had to cover a shift at the Library on Saturday, so we took advantage of her being off on Friday to head to the Zoo. If was a real nice Fall day. Since the temperatures were down, we had hoped that the animals would be more active.

That didn’t really happen, but everyone had a good time anyways. Ghouls at Grassmere (The halloween programs) kicked off Friday night, so they were doing all of the setup for that. The kids really enjoyed that, although both of the parents weren’t above holding trick or treat at the zoo ransom for the kid’s good behavior.

We’re going to head back tonight! Updates to follow.

Ok, so maybe a LITTLE breaking the rules…

Hey, I lasted 2 posts, right?

But this one needs more than one picture. I am going to try to keep it to one story, and put photos as needed.

When we go to Destin, it seems that one of the priorities is to get some good food. For me, that means getting something decent that doesn’t smell like the sea, while everyone else gets Seafood. Hey, you’re on the coast, take advantage of it.

Destin did not have a good culinary representation for us this week. One of the establishments (which will not be named to prevent Google from giving advertisements) appeared to have exactly one fryer, used for both fish sticks and chicken (Chicken tenders, Macaroni and Cheese, and Cheese Sandwitches seem to be the kids ONLY dietary requirements), as well as a distinct lack of any type of Oven. A temporary setback, I’m sure, but not reassuring when you order and are then informed on what you can’t have.

I can’t say that any of the food (besides William’s Chicken tenders of the sea) was bad. But neither will I say it was really good.

Except.
