We flew up to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a long weekend (long for Sean and me, Barbara has to work in Ft. Worth on Monday.) Sunday morning we went to the Sea Life Center in Grapevine. For an aquarium in an outlet mall it is pretty well done. (it is part of a chain of aquariums owned by Merlin Entertainment - the second largest amusement group next to Disney - they also own Legoland and Madame Toussauds.) Sean spent Saturday night researching the guide to the aquarium and deciding where we should go. Once there, they had "Fin Facts" about the exhibits that you cold collect for a prize at the end - Sean loved that.
Sunday afternoon we met Uncle Tadd at the Texas State Fair. We sampled the midway and Barbara and Sean road a couple of roller coasters. Sean throught they were all "awesome."
