Over the long 4th of July weekend, we packed up the kids and made a 17 hour drive down to Tampa to visit Grandma. The kids did great on the trip. We left right after dinner, so they were only awake for a little while and we drove through the night while they slept. Once they woke up, we were already in Florida so they only had to tolerate being in the car for a short amount of time after that, which they did extremely well with movies, books and games, and each other to entertain. They are great little travelers!!
After we (Chris and I) recovered from the long drive, we spent the next day at the Tampa Aquarium. Ethan and Becca both loved all of the sea creatures, especially the big floor to ceiling shark tank.
There were lights on the floor and some great music so Becca had to get down and boogie!
The best part of the aquarium is that it had an outdoor play area with an area that was just perfect for Becca...
and an awesome splash area that was perfect for Ethan, complete with a Pirate Ship...
The kids aren't quite old enough to appreciate and fully enjoy the Orlando Disney experience, so we took them for a day at Sea World instead. Everyone had a great day!!
We took in a great Dolphin show...
Fed the sea lions...
Fed the sharks...
And topped off the day with the Shamu show!
We all miss having Grandma live so close but it was great to make a trip to see her and her house and get to enjoy the Florida sites with her.
