Sea Adventure

Nov 4 - This morning after the regular morning routine it was time to get moving on what we will refer to as our "Sea Adventure." It all started a few day before when cousin Aidan kept telling Aunt Lynn he wanted to go to the sea. So Aunt Lynn and Mommy came up with a plan to go to the DC aquarium and see fish from the sea.

After my morning nap we were ready to go. Aunt Lynn met us at our house with Aidan and Gavin in the backseat. We jumped in our car and Aunt Lynn followed us to the metro. We had some trouble finding parking spots but we made it. We got on the metro. Mommy let me out of the stroller so I could look out the window again. I really enjoyed that. Mommy and Aunt Lynn counted with Aidan the number of stops til we got to our destination at Federal Triangle. Once we got off we got a little turned around trying to find the aquarium and got a little wet in the rain.

We found the aquarium and once we got a little dried off in the bathroom it was time to visit the sea. We started at the piranha tank where the fish lady was going to feed them. We all sat on the floor to watch but I started to fuss so Mommy and I got up and stood in the back. When the piranha were done eating we visited the alligator tank. Aidan, Gavin, and I all stood up against the glass to looked in. Then we moved around looking at eel, frogs, sharks, and one gigantic turtle. After we were done with the fish we hung out in this hands on exhibit with this big wheel. Aidan would spin it and I would just laugh and laugh.

Here are some pictures of some of the things we saw:

After we were done there it was across the street to the food court for lunch. Then back on the metro to head home. I slept on the metro and so did Gavin. Then it was home for more food, a little playtime with Daddy and then bedtime. It was an awesome Sea Adventure.
