A Dallas Adventure...

   So, last Saturday Layton and I used some Christmas money we had gotten and went to the Dallas Aquarium.  It was so very fun!  We both enjoyed a day out together.  And we decided beforehand that we were going to take our time and not rush... just a relaxing day, so that was really nice.  :)
  First we went to Starbucks... Layton's idea.  :)
He got a vanilla spice latte because his throat was bothering him.  :-/
I got a White Mocha Frappe with toffee nut... So good!
It's by far my favorite.

   Then to the Aquarium we went... traffic wasn't too bad which was really nice and we got there rather quickly.  Though once we got got of our car we realized it was very good we were going to do an inside expedition... it was really cold out side and windy.

   As your walking in there are already animals which is fun.  We purchased tickets and then started our adventure through the rainforest.  It was pretty crowded which was a bit of a bummer, but not to bad.  All the exhibits were really fun.  There were monkeys, birds, turtles, fish, sharks, and so much more.
This guy was one of the free range birds and he had landed on a branch right above our heads.
Our camera does not do him justice... his colors were beautiful.
This guy was hilarious.  Layton and I laughed at him for a while.
They are tiny little monkeys and they move super fast.
And I loved his mustache... :)
At one point he even jumped onto the fence right in front of us.
This was taken in the main aquarium part...
He loved swimming on the glass.
The crazy part is he looked huge and I went to another aquarium one time and they said that the glass makes everything look 20% SMALLER!  Craziness.
Flamingos!  They were orange, not pink, which was interesting.
Afterward we went to the Dream Cafe.
It was suggested by Ben and Rhiannon and was pretty good.
They serve brunch and lunch, so Layton got pancakes and I got chicken enchiladas.

   We had a marvelous time and I would definitely say it is worth going to.  And it is always just fun to take a little road trip and do something you have never done before.  =D
   Now it is another weekend, starting tonight...
~Enjoy your loved ones and all the blessings God has given you!
