It keeps happening. I intend to document an event, a trip, a visit with friends and I come home with a camera full of pictures of my daughter. I don’t know how it happens…
A couple weeks ago we took a weekend trip up to Cincinnati to visit our dear friends Sean and Renata and their kiddos. It was rainy and cold on Saturday so we went to the aquarium.
They don’t allow strollers in the aquarium. I thought that was the dumbest thing until I realized how packed it was in there. It was hard enough just to move around all of the standing people. Our very heavy little girl needed to take a nap anyway, and Daddy’s shoulder is the perfect spot.
I call Precious Ali-gator all the time as nickname for her real name (does that make any sense?) so I thought it was pretty awesome to get a picture of the gator under a Gator Alley sign.
She’s not really anything like an alligator. This guy was massive!
There was a trippy and very relaxing room full of neon lights and various kinds of jelly fish. I could have watched them for hours.
We caught a brief penguin show, too. This sweet family will be welcoming a new baby boy on Precious’ birthday in July!
Precious is a wonderful traveler. Look, all she needs is a shoe to chew on…
Sean and Renata have a beautiful, comfortable mid-century modern home. We love visiting them!
We even worked in a little time for antique store browsing this trip. We didn’t come home with anything but I enjoyed seeing these Curtis Jeré (real and/or imitation) metal wall sculptures.
I might regret that we didn’t buy this to put on our yet-to-exist fireplace.
