Day 8: Museum

Friday started a little rocky. I wanted to go visit both my grandmothers even though we had seen them Sunday. The purpose was two-fold for each of them: we had pictures to give each of them and we wanted a cookie recipe from one and the other had something for me. So, we called each and headed over. We visited with my dad's mom for a little while and even invited her to go to the museum with us. She declined because she needed to get her hair done. Right before we left, we got the cookie recipe from her. Next up was my mom's mom. She had books and a pin for me. The pin is special because it was given to her by my dad's grandmother. (Yes, odd, I know, but they lived next door to each other for years). When we left there, we went to Zaxby's for lunch and ran into Allison's sister and 2 of her kids. When we all finally finished eating, we went out to NAS to the Naval Aviation Museum. They've got a new hangar that wasn't finished last year when we were there, so we were excited to visit it and see what's there. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time in there because we decided to do the simulator and the line was pretty long. Clayton and Andrew were first up and then I rode it with Andrew. That child LOVED it. Kept me upside down for a good bit of it, too. Jason and Allison also rode. Mom kept an eye on the baby and the two 4-year-olds. After the museum, Mom, Allison, Andrew, Kristin, and I went to Joe Patti's for crab and scallops to add to our low-country boil. Talk about a great meal (just needed a little more spice). Corn on the cob, sausage, potatoes, crab, shrimp, and scallops. A new tradition, I do believe. After supper, Andrew turned the TV on and the Singing Bee was on. I don't have a clue what song was on, but it had a great beat for doing the oompa-loompa dance where they bob up and down. I started doing that and announced that I needed someone to go opposite me. Mom took one look at me and started laughing and started going opposite me, but by then I was laughing so hard that I couldn't do it. I laughed so hard I cried and had to take my contacts out. Allison drove us to Publix to get the ingredients for the cookies. We made very yummy chocolate chip cookies when we got back to the house and then went to bed.
