May 17, 2013 - A Day at Birch Aquarium

Today we spent the morning enjoying good pastries at a French pastry shop, then headed out to Birch Aquarium.  As you might expect it was loaded with children.  They were so excited - it was a delight to watch and listen to them.  (The eels were a big hit, as were the sea dragons and sea horses.)  And of course anything that looked like Nemo.

We spent quite a bit of time there - more than we anticipated, enjoying ourselves just as much as the kids (albeit a bit more quietly.)  We got to visit with fish we fell in love with while in Hawai'i and Mexico...ones we hope to see again some day!  We learned a lot, and simply enjoyed the variety of fishes, from those in the Pacific Northwest, to those from tropical areas.  A great display - a great day!
