The Virginia Aquarium






Today we ventured out in the rainy weather to the Virginia Aquarium. It was Samantha's second time (she first went at I think, 3 months) - and it was Anthony's first time. Surprisingly it was quite packed there with schools and many others. Samantha was totally intrigued by the large fish and turtles, and I think the GIANT alligator scared her a bit. She loved the birds too.. What was hilarious, was her calling every single animal a "Dog" and barking at them! We tried to tell her the difference but she didn't care. She touched a starfish and sting ray even, no fear in that child! Though there was much to see, I don't think that it's worth the price right now for her not understanding really. Next time out we'll go to the Portsmouth Childrens Museum, so much more for her to touch, explore and see. All in all, it was a fun filled rainy day!

  2. Haha yeah we've talked about it! Maybe after we move to Tacoma and settle in a bit, and only if we have decent dedicated yard space or it just wouldn't be fair to the doggie! :)
