I believe that I can confidently say that if there is an aquarium.
Or a safari.
Or a zoo.
Or a wildlife reserve.
Or farm.
Or anything, within a two hour or so driving distance from our home, that involves animals.
That we will be visiting it.
Although I’m not certain that a two hour driving distance is a limit.
Because my kids are crazy about animals.
And sea life? Crazier still.
Yes, Discovery channel’s Shark Week is recording.
And when Madeline, for two years in a row, tells me that she wants to take care of animals when she grows up?
I’d put money on it.
Although the specific direction of her future career vacillates between working at SeaWorld and being a vet.
So when a neighbor told me about an aquarium that was a little over an hour away from us? We were on it like white on rice.
Road trip!
We didn’t tell the kids where we were going.
And they didn’t guess until we were almost there.
Ah those devilish ways parents can torture our kids….
