As planed we attended the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The kids had a great time. They sprang from one exhibit to the next.
We were there on a Thursday during their fall hours, there were no real lines to speak of. Since I had pre-ordered our tickets we just walked in, after a brief bag check. However, in the parking garage, my husband failed to scan our parking ticked and took one instead, so we actually paid for parking twice.
We had decided to not eat at the aquarium, in part because of our schedule and I really didn't care for their pre-pay options.
We made it all the way to Florida without incident, and my Grandmother was true to her word, she had put everything up high in the cupboard and had told everyone no nuts at all. She had even pulled out a box of cookies she had picked up and asked it they were ok to give to the kids. My husband read the box and when he pointed out that they were made in a factory with peanut products, she hid them away before the kids could see them.
Things were great until our second morning. My husband and I were up early and were enjoying a pot of coffee at the kitchen counter. When my Grandmother walked in she said she needed to eat something and take her pills. She put some bread in the toaster, pored a cup of coffee and before I realized what was happening she was spreading peanut butter over her toast. According to my husband I had a face of shock and pure panic. When my Grandmother looked up halfway through her toast she saw it too. She wiped her mouth, wrapped the toast in a napkin, buried it in the trash and proceeded to wash her hands, the knife and her lips with dish soap and a paper towel. She refused to touch my daughter until she had showered.
Later she apologized, she was so used to having toast and peanut butter every morning for breakfast she forgot herself.
The entire rest of the trip was completely without incident, and we had a wonderful time.
Were even thinking about doing it again in the future.
