We had the best day with Enzo. He woke up in a happy mood, we hung out at home for a bit then left the house to go to the aquarium. We had breakfast at a cute place in Pasadena, and Enzo ate well and sat in his chair the entire time.

We drove out to the Long Beach Aquarium, and Enzo was absolutely in awe of all the "fisch", "shark", "ray" and "turdle" that he saw. He also loved the giant model of the whale (he calls them "lo" for some reason) hanging from the ceiling. Other highlights: the seals and sea lions with their underwater acrobatics; touching the rays and sharks' the big shark tank; watching the divers feed the fish (the coolest thing was the feeding frenzy using a head of romaine lettuce); and a little tank filled with clownfish and blue regal tangs (Nemo and Dory from the movie).

He crashed as soon as we got in the car, and even though we tried to wake him when we passed the Goodyear blimp in a big field off the 405 freeway, he was completely dead asleep. Zoe did some grocery shopping while daddy sat in the car with Enzo, and he woke up when we pulled into the driveway over an hour later.

We had lunch at home and Enzo ate a frightening amount of SPAM musubi, took a poop on the big boy potty, then we went to Old Pas to run errands. He managed to also have a nice big Jamba Juice. When we got home, mommy went to pick up an early dinner of Korean barbecue while daddy and Enzo went up to visit Wes.

We had a fun dinner, then made a quick Costco run to pick up Christmas lights. On the way to Costco, the radio played the B-52s Rock Lobster - Enzo was dancing around in the backseat and we were both singing at the top of our lungs.

We had ice cream afterwards, and Enzo showed another way that he is so much like his dad: he showed a distinct preference for mint chip over cookies and cream. (Also: Enzo loves all marine animals and fish, has a funny sense of humor, and is cranky and prone to tantrums) We had a nice bath, then the usual books then bed. What a great day.
