Tennessee Aquarium
Nov. 10th, 2007 12:35 amThe Asperger's group that Thomas is in went on an expedition to Chattanooga to the Aquarium, families welcome, so I got Mat (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
iskmiirik) and Rhi to come with Thomas and me (Mark was, of course, in a cave). There were 17 people in all in our group. It was just fantabulous. We met at and ate at the Mellow Mushroom, just a block or so from the AQ, then walked down. I had not been there since they built the new building, "Oceans" and added Penguins there, and added Seahorses in the main building. We spent our entire "free" time in the Oceans building, then joined everyone else for the Behind the Scenes tour -- very educational, and fun too. Then we took some group photos, and the group split up. We went back to see the Sea Horses, since we hadn't even got to the main building yet! Then a tour through the gift shop, dinner at a Cracker Barrel, and finally home, exhausted. Even tho I wore the comfortable shoes, my feet, knees, and back hurt. I'm just not used to standing all day anymore. But it was worth the tired. And the getting up way too early to drive up there. Plus it was a real treat to spend the day with Mat and Rhi. We never have time to relax with them anymore. Hardly ever even see them. whine whine.
