Mama Needs To Break Out Of The Valley

We're on our way to the aquarium.  It is 40 miles away.  The Boy has already had one meltdown.  I finally had to pull out the "Goodnight Chicago" book to show him a picture of a cartoon aquarium to explain why we needed to put clothes on.  "We're going there!" I said.  "We gotta get ready to go see the fishies!"  We're headed to the Long Beach aquarium--not Chicago-- but whatever works here.  He seemed to get it and succumbed to shorts, shirt and sandals.  Whew.  Then he managed to pee all over his clothes and we had to do the whole routine over again.

I have packed enough to keep us occupied for 40 hours.  Newly purchased portable dvd player, stickers, cars, letters, food, etc.  With any luck it will last for 40 minutes.

And away we go!
