A Visit to The Aquarium of the Pacific

My friend Ariel and her daughter Harper are currently members of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Ariel offered me a complimentary ticket to join her and Harper on their next visit to the aquarium. So yesterday, on a quiet, but gorgeous day...we had a play date with the sea animals (as well as birds!) and Ariel's friend Denae and her two kiddies, Lotus and Taj. Although some of the interactive exhibits were under construction, the kids still got to touch sharks, sting rays, and other creatures. And we still had a blast looking at the various habitats and the animals that live in them! Ariel and Denae's friend Emmy came later with her little one Beckett and we all walked over to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant across the street from the aquarium, and enjoyed a light lunch to bring our afternoon of fun to an end!
