Melissa and Wren 8 year wedding anniversary

A/N - I am currently in the year 2023 for this story 

*Saturday March 25*

Wren's POV

Melissa and I have been on vacation for 5 days with Bella and we still had another 5 days before we went back home. Bella had kindergarten but it was Spring break week so she was only missing 2 days of school. We were halfway through our trip. We flew to Manchester Airport in the northern part of the UK and then rented a car so we could drive to other cities in this part of the UK. Besides travelling to the USA a few times Bella hadn't been outside of London in the UK. Today we were in Knowsley, UK which is a city between Liverpool, UK, and Manchester, UK. Today, we were taking Bella to a safari park.

"Are we there yet?" Bella asked

"Almost." I said

"Are you sure we aren't lost." Melissa asked

"5 minutes and you will see the sign, I promise you and Bella." I said

5 minutes turned into 10 minutes but that was because of traffic. It was an unseasonably warm day for the end of March with May like temperatures so the safari park/zoo was busy. 

We decided to go through the drive through part first because we didn't have that at the London zoo. We spent just over an hour driving through and viewing the animals. Bella seemed scared whenever an animal got close to the car because she would duck her head down below the car window.

"Was that fun Bella?" Melissa asked

"No." Bella replied.

"You love animals Bella." Melissa said

"Dogs yes but other animals no." Bella said

"It wasn't that bad was it?" I asked

"No but they were bigger then Mocha." Bella said

"Maybe this wasn't such a goof idea." Melissa said

"I think only having the car in between us and the animal was to much for Bella because she does love London zoo so the animals were not the problem." I said

"True and she is so small compared to some of the animals." Melissa said

We then walked around the zoo part of the safari park for about 30 minutes before walking into the gift shop.

"Can I buy something." Bella asked

"You don't have any money to pay for it." Melissa said

"But you and dad have money." Bella said

"Pick out one thing." I said

"Why only one?" Bella asked

"We already bought you 3 different things on this vacation so pick out one more thing." Melissa said

"Does this mean I'm not going to get any birthday gifts from you and daddy?" Bella asked

"Your birthday's in 2 months Bella so of course we will buy you another gift." I said

Bella picked out a Zebra stuffed animal .

"We spoil her to much." Melissa said

"Yes but we know our limits as far as spending and how much to buy." I said

"I'm hungry." Bella said

"We are going to get lunch as soon we pay for your Zebra and the t shirts." Melissa said

Melissa and I spent over a hundred dollars at the gift shop but not everything was for us. We had bought shirts for our nieces and nephews  so they could have a gift when we got back to London. We were thinking about taking a trip to the USA so Melissa could see her sister but we didn't know when yet.
