The sailing show in Annapolis is an awesome event for the whole family. There are so
many fun boats to see and lots of yummy treats for the little one. There is also
lots of fun bar booths set up for the adults. The docks are set up so that you can walk
through the boatshow and look at different sailboats, charters, vacation deals, and
much more! You do not have to be interested in purchasing a boat or a boat
membership to enjoy this show. You should be able to have a love for the water
and being on it though if you are interested in attending the show. The
Annapolis sailing boatshow gives you different ideas about vacation and different
types of memberships that you can buy to enjoy without having to own a
boat. And nonetheless it is a fun day in Annapolis with sunny weather to just
enjoy the town itself. The event itself was reasonably priced and the next event
will be in the middle of winter. But it will still be worth checking out for
somebody that enjoys being on the water and sailing. All of the vendors were very
excited about seeing children and giving them lots of cool loot. It was a fun family
day.

A Historical American Girl Tea Party
What an adorable event! This American Girl tea party took place a couple of weekends ago at the historic Carlyle House in Alexandria, VA. Young girls were able to bring their American Girl dolls and enjoy a "historic tea party". This event is historic not just because of how fun it is and the enjoyment the children get but it is hosted by a colonial woman (a character) from Williamsburg. The girls all had a lot of fun watching her explain the proper way to pour and drink tea. All of the girls got to sit at the "princess" table as it was decorated for each girl with a small tiara for their doll as well. After the tea demonstration the girls were then able to leave their dolls at the table for the doll's tea party and they girls were able to join their family, or friends, for small tea sandwiches, scones and of course tea. The event is catered beautifully and the food is delicious. Everything is decorated with a historic colonial flair and is very elegant. It was a beautiful fall day and sitting out on the patio of the historic Carlyle House was so delightful. It was a beautiful day and event to take a young girl to. And as a mom I am happy to say that it is nice to see that the tickets were only $15!

The National Aquarium of Washington DC
The National Aquarium of Washington DC is the perfect place to take a young
toddler. It is on the smaller size of the aquariums been that it is only one
floor. When you first walking you see a bunch of little alligators. That
separates all of the fish. The fish are in smaller size tank and are a bit
higher up off the ground so for some children it is a little more difficult to
see unless the parent pick them up. The really cool thing about this aquarium is
that there are fish from all over the world from different preservations. The
National Aquarium of Washington DC took samples of different fish and their
habitats and put them in each tank. They even have one from the Potomac River.
It is very interesting to see the differences between saltwater and freshwater
fishes and habitats. One of the criticisms of this aquarium is that it is so
small and it costs at least $10 to get in. But I do think that people know what
they are getting into when they go there and the money goes to support the fish,
habitats and the ocean, which are all great causes. There is also endless
amounts of information on each fish and habitat as you go through the aquarium.
There is also an interactive area for children with a lot of hands on
manipulatives. And the gift shop offers a lot of fun souvenirs. Though some
adults may have the criticism of getting bored by this one for aquarium, I
believe it is the perfect place to take a young child especially on a cold day.
They love the fish and will be entertained for hours! It is the perfect amount
of entertainment for a young child to not be overwhelmed with and to learn and
be excited about the ocean.
