Good morning, girls...
I spent a lot of time thinking about you yesterday, as I do every day, but a little more than usual. Dakota and I spent an awesome few hours touring the Long Beach Aquarium and the Queen Mary. So many things that you two will think are beautiful and a little scary there. We saw jellies and sharks and crab and squid and seals....
I stayed away from the gift shops, though, because I probably would have bought half the shop for you. See, Nana has "gift shop guilt". It comes from when I used to take your Mom on her school field trips. Papa and I were not making much money at the time, and usually all of my extra money went on gas to drive her as she got carsick on the bus. So, she would want to see the toys in the gift shop, and I seldom could afford to get her any more than a pencil. Now, she liked her pencils.....but I felt bad every time because she really was so well behaved on those trips and it would have been nice to reward her for that.
I hope I get to take you two on a field trip or two.
Love, Nana
Lovely post, I really wish you had your girls!!! One day my friend, one day...that is my constant prayer for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that it was awesome that you took her on the field trips, instead of letting her get sick on the bus, or not go. Nothing wrong with a good pencil....
