The Aquarium Trip Part II

So after our trip to the zoo, we drove back to the hotel to get checked in and shower before we headed out to dinner. Thankfully I had spaced out our day so I could determine how Gracie would deal with nap time and lunch. Lunch at the zoo was fairly close to our regular lunch time, but when we left nap time was lagging. And I was suprised to discover that even after sleeping in the car ride from the zoo for about 30 minutes, Gracie was still pleasant the rest of the night. When we were reading, I had planned ahead and called the hotel to find a local family restaurant. The rep suggested Taco Mac. When we got to the restaurant, it kind of reminded me of a combination of Chili's and Applebee's. It was the same kind of sports bar/beer and wings type place, only their menu also offered southwestern style foods like quesadillas, nachos, and wraps. I think Bryan tried a sandwich, and we also tried their chips and cheese dip. The restaurant was good, and they had a fairly good kid's menu.
Special note to Miss Leigh: If you are reading this, Gracie was going to wear the Eiffel Tower dress to dinner Sunday night. However, we put it on and it is WAY to short. If there is any possibility, could you make us some bloomers or capris in the Eiffel Tower fabric to go with the top?

We also "rented" Horton Hears a Who that night at the hotel, but I really wasn't that impressed with the movie.

Ok, that's it for today! I'll post the aquarium pictures tomorrow.
