I had a feeling there might be a few schools going to the aquarium yesterday. As we were walking inside, about 10 buses emptied out onto the courtyard, spilling row after row of children, wearing name tags or homemade t-shirts to identify themselves. They were organized in lines against nearly every wall or outcropping their parents and teachers could find.

Fortunately, they all had short attention spans and if you waited behind them a minute or two, they'd run off to the next exhibit, giving you a few minutes to check out the sea life before the next swarm ran over your feet. I feel like an old man for saying it, but sometimes it was like they really weren't looking where they were going. I can't tell you how many kids took a header into Michelle's side because they were running straight, looking left, and yelling at their friends behind them.

All that aside, the aquarium was awesome. It was two stories tall with plenty of helpful people and exhibits. I forgot to turn off the camera's flash at first, so here are the pictures that came out ok. At least from the digital camera.



A scuba guy dove in to feed the fish. He waved at all the little kids. I was going to flip him off, but Michelle wouldn't have let me.



Another picture of the tank. That's real sunlight through the roof.
