Mama's Birthday

The plan for Mimi's birthday was to take Carter for his first visit to the zoo. We awoke to some much needed, but ill timed rain and so we changed our plans and headed to the Baltimore Aquarium instead. After a late start we met Mitzi up there around 11 and found the place packed. Carter was interested in all the fish but he may have liked all the escalators more.

 We made it all the way to the top with Carter still in pretty good spirits so we stopped for lunch at the cafe.

After lunch we headed down through the reef fish (good) and sharks (not as good) and over to the dolphin area. Carter liked the dolphin pool, and the Jellies and he was a good sport through the dolphin show which started 1.5 hrs after the normal nap time. After so much good behavior we decided to quit while we were ahead and left for home.

I made some cupcakes for Mimi and then we all went out to Viet Thai for dinner. By this point Carter still had no nap, was pretty punchy, but was holding it together. Turns out he likes satay (not a big surprise), carrots shaped like flowers, pad thai, tom ka gai, and drink umbrellas.

Happy Birthday Mama!
