Riding a Tricycle

I thank Aunt Lang for getting me a Radio Flyer tricyle for my first birthday last year.  Although all I could really do then was just push the buttons to honk or signal I was turning, it is quickly becoming one of my favorite toys.

Mommy & Daddy took me out on our raceway (i.e. driveway) and had me practice.  I really didn’t understand the concept of “riding” a bike and it’s really more like Mommy & Daddy “pushing” my bike.  Daddy insisted that I keep my feet on the pedals which I really didn’t understand.  “Why keep my feet there and have it get all tangled in the pedals when I am moving (pushed by Mommy or Daddy) anyway?”  Ah…yes!  So much to learn…

Finally, I just decided that it may just be more fun to push the bike too…

DC Aquarium

Well, I’d hate to break it to everyone, but what they say in the blogs and online reviews are true. 

The DC Aquarium is “not worth the $10 admission fee.”  The only reason why we thought it was semi-worth it was because Mommy & Daddy already bought membership for 1 year so we get unlimited use of both the DC and Baltimore Aquariums.  Now we have to get our money’s worth by going to the aquariums, but the truth is the the DC Aquarium is a small u-shaped place that is essentially the size of one exhibit at the Baltimore Aquarium.

To be fair, there are two good thing about this museum:

1.  It isn’t crowded at all, so we could bring our strollers in (we had to check them at the Baltimore Aquarium) and there is plenty of room for me to sit front and center at each glass tank.

2.  It is located in DC so it takes almost no time to drive in.

Other than those reasons, I think I’d prefer the Baltimore Aquarium.
