Having a goal of doing something every weekend with my kids is a good goal. It makes a way more interesting weekend. It forces me to think about my kids. It exposes my kids to different experiences.
So yesterday I was thinking about Camden Zoo. But it’s close to 2 hours to get there. So I found a zoo in CT. Maritime acquarium. It was a good experience. Lots of animals. You could see seals up close. You could touch sting fish. And you could even touch the sharks.
And talk about the sharks. They had some huge ones in the acquarium. I have a few up close pics of their teeth. It was amazing.
We ended the day by seeing an IMAX movie about the great white shark. It wasn’t breath taking but it was cool. I liked it.
We then decided to go to Applebees. I am getting a little worried that we’re spending money left and right. We don’t have that much money. But what wife wants, she gets. But there was another scene. I said we should get chips and dip. She wanted wings. She then said we can have chips now and some other day, we’ll have wings. I said fine. However, after the wings arrived, she really got the nerves. She started complaining. She got really upset. I was surprised. I did not feel good. Why did I take them to a restaurant? Why am I doing that for them? I don’t need that!
It wasn’t a good experience at the restaurant. As for me, in the future, I learned to keep away. Let them have what they want.
