Twist, Shout, Calypso and the ToothFairy

How's that for a weekend of fun?  We surprised the boys with a trip to Baltimore.  First stop, The Lyric theater to see "The Fresh Beat Band".  They rocked the house of toddlers and tots and served "Mommy and Daddy drinks" at the concession stand...what could be better?  How about  Zak falling asleep during the last song!  Next stop, a hotel.  We realized that the boys have not been in a hotel since we were in China.   They were beyond excited.  Beds to jump on, a pool inside and lots of hallways and elevators to explore.  Today we hit the Baltimore Aquarium for more fun.  Van fell in love with a giant turtle named Calypso who was rescued off the coast of New York in freezing waters and lost a flipper after his recovery.  We got to see feeding time with all the divers so that was a huge bonus.  The dolphin show was another hit.  Bonus excitement of the day-- Zak finally losing his loose tooth as the dolphins hit the stage.  Great road trip weekend for all.
