Grandpa and Grandma took Bailey to the Venice Beach to look for shark teeth. We came up empty handed on the shark tooth excursion, but a dolphin showed up and was swimming right next to Bailey in the water.

My husband ordered Gummy Bear and Make Your Own Bubble Gum kits from Gleegum.com. Bailey gave her stamp of approval, "They tasted great!"

One of the things Bailey wanted to do was visit an aquarium, so we went to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. An artist was offering to draw caricatures, so we had Bailey pose.

The finished drawing. My husband took a picture of it and we ironed the drawing on some t-shirts for Bailey to take home.

We shopped 'til we dropped. Every time we saw a T.J. Maxx store, we stopped. This is Grandpa posing in his favorite dinner dress!

We did visit some finer stores, where things were a little pricier, so we looked and tried on, but didn't buy. Bailey quickly took these sunglasses off when she realized they sold for $198.00!

Bailey loved the aquarium and she took photos of every type of fish we saw.
