Aquarium of the Pacific


Today Ashley and I took the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. The Aquarium of the Pacific is a world-class aquarium, exploring the waters of Southern California and Baja, the Northern Pacific, and the Tropical Pacific.

It's nice that Ashley is off of work until September so we get to hang out and do fun things together this summer. I'm going to be bummed once September comes around. We have lots of fun upcoming activities planned.

Back to the aquarium- when we arrived there were kids everywhere and I mean everywhere... like little ants on a piece of candy. Ashley says, "Ohhhh I forgot it was summer. Probably a lot of summer camps here." Ya think! As I stood in line with Will, Mrs. VIP Ashley went to her VIP door and walked right in to nice air conditioned aquarium. She was using my aunt's aquarium membership. While she was inside (in the AC) and me outside- she realized it was a family membership so she came out handed it off to me and I walked my little stroller in that VIP door too. It was getting mighty hot standing there in the 99 degree sun.

I wasn't sure if Will was old enough to really be interested in anything at the aquarium but I was definitely wrong. He loved the exhibits inside with all the sharks, fish and jelly fish.

Here's a peek at our day at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
