Usually Valentine’s Day falls during a school break over in the UK, a half-term break. This usually means my son and I have the day to ourselves. So the first year that we were here, we went to the aquarium in London. We had only been in the UK for two weeks. I didn’t know about half-term breaks, or the area of London we were headed to, which was packed, right next to the London Eye. It was the first time in my life that I walked behind police officers that weren’t armed. There are a lot of things that I remember about that day, but not too many are about the aquarium. Still, a tradition was born! We decided that we’d go to an aquarium every Valentine’s Day.
