Our mini, but amazing trip!

                          Start with some favorite pics!

 ....So as you can see our trip went AMAZING. If its possible to have too much fun I think Breyton did!
Starting off with swimming, slides, hot tubs and ending with sharks, sting rays, and every other sea animal there is.
   
    We got to our hotel about 3pm on Wednesday checked in and changed into swimsuits super quickly and we were swimming by 3:30. We stayed in the water for close to 3 hours straight until all our hands were wrinkled up like prunes and ears water logged lol. It was so hard to get out of the water knowing it was our only chance to get to enjoy it because the next day was going to be too busy! I already wish we were back in it and need to figure out how to get an indoor pool asap hehe.
 
    Something about the water makes you super starving, so we immediately changed back into winter attire and headed across the street for a homestyle meal at a restaurant. Stuffed ourselves with chicken fried steak, chicken and dumplings, okra, green beans, rolls and ending with peach cobbler topped with ice cream......yuuummm. Now we were all full and worn out so went back to the room where Breyton played with telephones, lamps, ice bucket, and everything else that intrigued him about the hotel room for about 45 minutes till it was time to get tucked in. We had 2 queen size beds in the room, so B got an entire bed(plus 4 huge pillows) to himself which he loved! He slept pretty great on it and makes me even more excited to get his bigger bed ready at home.

  Next morning B had us awake at 6:45 and we had to get ready for Masons award ceremony which started at 9am and lasted till 11:30. Breyton as always was not shy at all and shook other police officers hands and went around roaring at people before and after the ceremony like he was a dinosaur...he never has trouble getting attention! Afterwards we left to head to the aquarium and B got an hour nap in the car to re-energize for the afternoon!
  
    Started off at the aquarium by heading to the shark tunnel because they feed the sharks at 1:30 and we didn't want to miss it! This was Mason and I's favorite part because we love sharks and it was neat getting to watch them eat and see Breyton's fascination. Looking forward to getting to do a shark cage adventure in the future even more! Next we went all through the aquarium seeing everything including a tank with clown fish(Nemo) and Dory together. When it came down to it Breyton's favorite part was definitely petting the sting rays! He always asked to go back to it and we spent an hour probably with the sting rays. He also got to touch a starfish and sea cucumber and he thought it was pretty neat! 

  Sadly the day had to end.... and we listened to Breyton saying "go back, turn around, wanna see shark, see stingray" for close to 2 hours on the way home! Oh and he had to go potty right when we where in a spot that had no exits for 15 miles..he was saying "hurry, don't pee pee in floor!"(because that's what I used to say)....so we pulled off to side of road after realizing he probably wouldn't make it and right as Mason pulled down his pants and opened door he started 'going' and it went all over car door and Mason (hehe)...extra good memories, right?! All in all we had so much fun and will definitely be going back hopefully making this an annual little trip for a many years while we have younger kids!
