Look at that face, priceless...

We went for the weekend to Cincinnati to visit Clayton's Great Aunt Norma and also see the Newport Aquarium and Cincinnati Zoo. Clayton did so well, he was amazing in the car...slept and watched movies. On the way there we stopped in Louisville to eat at a really neat place called Lynn's Paradise Cafe. If you haven't been, you should go. It is decorated with all types of eccentric furniture and lamps. We were lucky enough to sit at the train table. There was an actual model train inside the table going around the track! Perfect kid's table...entertainment, especially for Clayton as he has a new love for trains. Then back in the car we went to Cincinnati. Once we arrived, we unpacked and hopped back into the car to go to the Aquarium. Clayton loved it, it was so worth the money to see his face and reactions. We had been working on identifying sharks, turtles, fish, and he kept pointing and shouting "Wow", "Shark", "Turtle", people around us were so entertained by him (and who can blame them ;) He loves the movie Nemo, so when we got to the tank with Clown fish, we didn't say anything, we wanted to see if he would say Nemo, and he did! He walked most of the way, no stroller for him!

The next day we got up early and headed for the Cincinnati Zoo. Wow, what a nice zoo. Clayton loved the animals and once again wanted to walk. Boy I wish I had half of his energy!!! His favorites were definitely the train ride, bears, lions, and petting zoo. The child has no fear. He sticks his hand right into those cages at the petting zoo. If we would let him, I'm sure he would even get into the cage with the bears! He would just laugh and laugh at the goats licking his fingers. His face was priceless on the train, like I said before he has a new love of trains (choo choos) and trucks so when we saw that they had a little train you could ride through the park, we had to take him on it. He was just quiet with a big smile taking it all in. I think he was just in awe that he was on an actual train!

All in all it was such a wonderful family trip, and I can't wait for the next one. It is amazing when you have a child, you see the whole world in a light. Everything is so much fun...we already have a list of the many, many things we want to do and places we want to go.
