I Survived!

Not than too many of you were worried.  Florida was quick, but fun.  Andrew was happy with a plane ride and a hotel with such luxuries as vending machines where you pay for treats.  Maybe I'll start making him pay for treats from the pantry at home.  We met up with Todd later after his meeting and had dinner outside under the palm trees at The Capital Grille.  I hear about this place all the time from my parents who eat there in Kansas City.  It was tasty, from the lobster and crab cakes that my Dad suggested to the ahi tuna I had for dinner.  Andrew, always playing it safe in the food department, went with his requisite noodles with no sauce.  

The next day Todd went his way and Andrew and I navigated the streets of Tampa and found our way to The Florida Aquarium, our field trip for the day.  Well worth the trip.  We touched starfish and sea anemone.  We saw giant turtles and a few sharks.  Some very funky fish from Australia.  Then we spent time outside in their water play area.  By that time Todd was having lunch in the mall next to us, so we went over and had a quick bite and then it was time to head back to the airport.  Quick, but perfect!
