The Aquarium of the Pacific

Today we (finally) visited The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was kind of an experiment to see whether Callum was ready to visit these kinds of places and actually get something out of the experience.


Callum showing us that he can rock a pear of sunglasses as good as his Dad can.


We will pretend Callum is pointing at the diver in the tank, and not just at the pretty bubbles.


The wide open spaces of the main atrium of the Aquarium was too much for Callum to ignore with his new found panache for walking.



Jen and Callum in front of the sea lion tank.


Outside by the touch pools - that is a 3-foot wide stingray you can see just over Callum's head.


And this is Callum trying to touch said stingray.


A quick geography lesson about where all the cool dangerous sharks come from ... or perhaps it was just where the pretty tropical birds come from, I forget.



We had fun at the Aquarium, but Jen and I are both in agreement that the Monterey Bay Aquarium was actually better.
