Well, today at 4:00, we arrived in Delray Beach to spend some time visiting with Nana and Papa. The kids were so excited about coming here. At 9:30 in the morning, we checked out of the Orlando Resort and started our drive to Delray. It was about 11:30 and the troops were getting restless and hungry for lunch. So, we did the next logical thing. We looked in the AAA Guidebook that we had for Florida and found that we could stop in Fort Pierce, where there was this restaurant called Sonny's BBQ Pit which we had noticed multiple times. It was a cute little place with delicious fare, just right to satisfy our monstrous appetites. After that, we visited the Manatee Visitors Center, which was also called out in our handy dandy AAA Guidebook. It was a bargain at $1 admission per person! The kids loved it and we spent about 1 hour there. Benjamin found the computer game, Joshua found the microscopes you could use to view seashells, Samantha checked it all out, moving from one exhibit to the next at lightspeed, and Zachary explored once he was let free from the stroller. Personally, I thought that the Seahorse exhibit was the coolest! The biggest reason for this is that the males of the species carry the babies, up to 2000 at a time...Can you imagine human males doing this job?! Jonathan thought the whole thing was well done and enjoyed watching it through the children's eyes. After we were finished, we continued our drive to Delray. Three of the four kids conked out on this part of the car ride. They awoke to the loud cheer of Benjamin yelling,"I'm eating crackers in Delray. We're here. I recognize this place!" Joshua was groggy and didn't exactly appreciate this wake up, until he realized that he would probably get lotsa treats here! We had a nice dinner provided by Nana and Papa, lit the Chanukah menorah, and exchanged gifts. Bedtime came all too quickly. And, now we have a little peace and quiet... Until tomorrow morning at 6:30 am sharp!...
