Yesterday, Caelan and I had a really fun day. We took our first fieldtrip with one of the moms groups we belong to. We went to the National Aquarium in DC. Four of the moms and babes went: Tara & Adelyn, Carrie & Maggie Grace, Me & Caelan and Lindsey & Keegan. We started out with Caelan's first ride on the Metro. I was a little interested to see how all the strollers would work out on the Metro, but it was great. We went in the middle of the day so we didn't have to compete with commuters. Once in DC we decided to get some lunch, and of course security is high in DC so to get into a building for lunch and into the aquarium we had to go thru airport type security (except the removal of shoes and booties). After lunching and baby feeding we finally head into the aquarium and down to the basement we go. All the little ones enjoyed looking at the fish, alligators, turtles, snakes and more. Caelan was so funny, he would look a little in the tanks then look at me, at the tanks then the moms and babes. The first tanks he didn't seem to be so interested but as I talked to him about the fish and pointing at them he looked at them longer with a little interest. To see the entire aquarium it took about 20min. (its a wittle small) But in reality, 20 min was just perfect for the attention span of the babes. So if you come to DC, don't just come for the National Aquarium, not that I won't stop you but lets just say the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago rocks! The end of the fieldtrip came to the perfect end, all babes fell asleep on the Metro. We can't wait til our next outing!
