Vacation Time!

Dear Vinny,

Last weekend, we went to Memphis for a little vacation/getaway.  You had a great time.  We stayed at a hotel that had a swimming pool, and you and I went swimming one evening.  Unfortunately, the water was pretty cold so we didn't swim again.

You had a great time at the Children's Museum of Memphis on Saturday.  You enjoyed the whole museum, but especially the wind tunnel with the airplane in it.  It had some big fans that would turn on when you flipped the switch, and then you could move the flaps on the airplane around to make it lift into the air.  You also enjoyed the airplane cockpit, and the railroad tracks display.

After the museum, we went to a place called Incredible Pizza where we enjoyed a big pizza buffet and some games.  You rode with me on the go-karts.  We were winning the race when somebody hit us and spun us out.  Oh well, we still had fun!  You also did some mini bowling and played a few driving simulation video games.

The next day we went to Graceland.  You enjoyed it at first but got a little bored with it after a while.  I think Graceland is a place that adults probably appreciate more than kids.  You did like the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch, and the milkshakes that we shared.  Daddy snapped a cute picture of you and me sharing a shake.  Ever since then you've enjoyed sharing drinks with two straws.

Then on Monday we headed for home.  On the way home we stopped at a battlefield, which wasn't the most exciting thing for you, or for me either for that matter.  But Daddy enjoyed it a lot.

We had a fun trip together.  Thanks for being such a good sport and having fun with me and Daddy!

Love,
Mama
