Watching Fish and Grocery Store Dinners

The girls woke up WAAAY to oearly this morning.  They were up by 6:30.  I took them down to get some breakfast so Ken could get some more sleep.  He's not a breakfast person.  The continental breakfast was lacking.  What do you expect for $45 a nite though?  There was orange juice, coffee, milk, bread for toast, and waffle mix.  

We got to the Aquarium at around 10:30.  My sister sent me a Living Social coupon for about 1/2 off our Aquarium tickets so it was a great deal.  We spent a few hours looking at the various sea creatures.

We got lunch when the girls started getting hungry.  I got a salad, Ken got a burger.  How much more stereotypical meat and potatoes can you get?  Grilled cheese for Sunny, and chicken tenders and fries for Kaylee and Manha.  

We were planning on letting them play in the splash park but Kaylee forgot her swim suit top.

For dinner the girls decided that they wanted frozen meals from the grocery store to take back to the hotel.


Here's what everyone had:


Ken
Banquet Chicken Fried Chicken


Katie
Publix salad
Fruit and yogurt parfait


Kaylee
Banquet Boneless Ribs
Banquet Salisbury Steak


Samantha
Banquet Sweet and Sour Chicken


Sunny
Banquet Spaghetti and Meatballs




Tomorrow we're going to check out Fort de Soto Park and Pier 60.

Family Vacation 2012 Day 1

We made it to Tampa!  We checked into the hotel and relaxed for a bit (which included the girls jumping on the bed for a good 10 minutes) before we started to decide on where we were going for dinner.

We had some issues figuring out a meat and potatoes friendly restaurant.  We ended up at a Chinese buffet.  It's called Crazy Buffet.  We ate SO MUCH!!

Ken pigged out on all the seafood options.  Katie stuck to mostly sushi and a small Mongolian grill plate with a bunch of different veggies. The girls ate a little of this and a little of that.  Starting tomorrow we'll make sure to get pictures of our meals.

When we got back to the hotel we took a dip in the hotel pool.  The kids needed to work off a bit of excess energy that they had from being cooped up in the car all day.

Now to lay down and watch Shrek, one of Kaylee's favorite movies.  What is your child's favorite movie?
