Our new BFF: GPS

"What do you mean we're just going to use our new Garmin Nuvi 880 to get to the aquarium? Where are our maps? Where is the address we're going? Have you lost your ever lovin' mind?"

"No, sweetie, I'm just drunk with love over my new Garmin Nuvi 880"

Let me touch you through the glass, big creepy fish thing.

"I don't want to touch it!"

"I'll touch it!!"

They had a shark petting area, too. See above for photo of shark petting area. The kids' arms were a little too short to get in the water enough to pet one.

See sign below for proper shark petting technique.

What a great skyline of Cincinnati through the eyes of Newport, KY

Thanks to our new GPS (The Garmin Nuvi 880--thanks Mom and Dad) we decided to fly without a net on a little trip to the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY. That's right, we went with no maps or directions or addresses of any kind other than our handy, dandy GPS. I've gotta say that the GPS is pretty great. We just punched in the city then area attractions and Voila! magic happened.

We didn't tell the kids where we were going until right before we got there. After we told them we were going to the Aquarium, Luke shouted "We're going to the 'pool-arium."

Here we are in line to get in with Luke explaining what we'll be doing.
