Labor Day Trip-Day 1

This may be our last vacation for a while. Mom and dad just can't handle it. On this trip we went full throttle-Green Family Style. We don't like down time unless it's at home or at the beach. Bored kids + small hotel room = grumpy parents!

On the first cool morning of fall (well it's not technically fall but you know what I mean) we hit the aquarium. This is the first time that the kids seemed annoyed by my desire to take photos. They refused to pose, refused to smile, but then again, cooperation has never been their strong suit.

Ready for adventure


"Mom SERIOUSLY! we DON'T have time for this"


Sea Turtle


Alligator (much scarier without the glass like in Savannah)


"Don't jump"!


Butterfly Garden - Where "J" was very upset that her favorite past time (catching butterflies) was not allowed.


Shark Diving, sans scuba gear, only for the bravest divers!


Gazing up at the water from a cozy cave


Showing off loot from the gift shop, a place we managed to avoid for approximately 6.5 years....the kids are now making up for lost time.
