In early April, we took our "annual" trip with Brad's family for a long weekend - last year was Gatlinburg, this year Chattanooga. With family in town, it is nice to sometimes get away and spend time together just for fun, instead of using a birthday, holiday, or other event as our excuse to be together. We spent about 3 hours at the Aquarium, which felt like we were running through it- I don't think the girls really understood what they were looking at most of the time, and I know Cousin Jack was just along for the ride. We saw the newest portion of the Aquarium, the "Ocean Journey" building, for the first time, which included the penguins, butterfly room, and petting the sting rays. Definitely leave time in your trip for this portion if you have younger children - I think this was Sydney's and Abigail's favorite part. After lunch, we attempted the 3D IMAX movie of the Grand Canyon, but neither of the girls were crazy about the water splashing around their faces in 3D or the loud theater audio. They made it through about 15 minutes or so, and then Rebekah took them out to the hall behind the theater to play for the rest of the time. All in all, we had a very nice weekend and will enjoy these memories for a long time.
