Dimmick Family: Florida Aquarium

Jess and I packed the car a couple of weekends ago and we took our first road trip as a family. We have gone places with Mya but never the four of us. We did some research and found some really good things about the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. Tampa is about 3 1/2 hours away from Jacksonville so not a very long car ride at all. We had been talking about the aquarium for a couple of weeks with Mya and she was super excited. There is nothing like seeing the smile on my 3 year olds face when she is excited about something. It is such a great feeling. The aquarium was full of many different tanks full of fish, otters, alligators, and penguins. It was funny to have Mya look at something for a few minutes and then say "I want to go see something else" She absolutely loved it. We decided since it was a full day trip at the aquarium that we would get a hotel for the night. I made sure that I picked a hotel that had an indoor pool so that we had some entertainment for the night. The hotel room seemed a little small to me but I guess that is how it goes when there are four of you in the room :). We made it work. We had the hotel bring us a trundle bed and we were good to go. The next morning we got up and went and had breakfast and headed on home. Here are a few pictures from the fun filled weekend.
