Today was beautiful so we headed to Newport to check out the aquarium. This was on my to do list with the family before Ava arrives so I was so excited that we had a chance to go today. The aquarium was fun, but a little less than what I expected. We were only there for about an hour because it was pretty small, but Andrew still had a blast. All day yesterday he kept telling everyone that he was going to go see sea lions, so he was pretty excited when he actually got to see them. He also really liked the sharks which I have to say was probably the highlight of the aquarium. He did keep asking to see Nemo and I felt so bad because there was no Nemo exhibit...oh well, we still got to see huge crabs, otters, starfish, and lots of other fish. After the aquarium we headed to Nye beach to eat at the Chowder Bowl. Growing up my family went to Newport every year and we always ate at the Chowder Bowl. I kept telling Nate that it is way better than Mo's and once he tasted the chowder, he completely agreed! We had a great lunch and then headed down to the beach. Andrew had so much fun playing in the sand and pulling his bucket and sand toys all over the place. Nate bought a Buzz Lightyear kite for Andrew but I think he enjoyed it more than Andrew did. Andrew wanted to fly it for a few minutes and then he wanted to go back to playing in the sand. We had such a fun family day together.
