We went to the Tennessee Aquarium this weekend. My husband decided to surprise us with a family trip. He called me Friday to make sure we had nothing planned for Saturday and then wouldn't tell me anything else. On Saturday morning we got up and headed North. It took me all of about two minutes to figure out where we were headed. We didn't tell the kids though until we got there. They had a blast. The aquarium has added a second building with Ocean exhibits too. The original building houses animals found in the Southeastern waters only.
We then went and walked around the floating docks and up to an under the bridge amphitheater. I don't think that was the safest place to be. Then we walked over to the Hunter Home Museum. They had some interesting pieces on display. The kids weren't sure about it though. The funny thing was in one of the back display rooms there was a woman sitting at a table. She looked like she was watching everybody. My three year old daughter walked over to look at a sculpture and I had to remind to look only and to keep her hands to herself then I looked at the woman and smiled. I swear she looked like she was looking straight at my daughter. A moment later my husband said "look at this!" I realized he was standing in front of the woman and she wasn't real. For a moment he thought she was real too. People must like to touch this exhibit because it has an alarm on it that goes off if you step too close. My husband got
to close and the darn thing went off. After that we walked back to the Children's Museum but it was closed. We'll have to visit it next time.
The tile in the kitchen is still not done. He called to complain about the money we were spending on eating dinner out and I pointed out he was supposed to be done by now. He came home and worked on it last night but not much.

Tim will be jealous that you got to go to the Aquarium. He loves that place!
Interesting get-the-floor-done tactic: eat at ever-increasingly expensive places till he finishes. He'll be done before you get to filet mignon and lobster, I guarantee it!
We haven't been to the Aquarium in years - they had a jellyfish exhibit when we went, way cool.
Good surprises are great. Sam did not know where we were going for our honeymoon until we got there.
They still have the jelly fish. My kids loved it.
