Virginia Aquarium and Virginia Beach

We decided on our holiday (Martin Luther King day) that we would drive to Virginia Beach to the aquarium and beach. It turned out to be a fun trip and nice to get out and about on a day that we didn't have school or anything else.
MJ really wanted to touch the sting rays but they kept teasing us and would come then swim by really fast.

Here is one coming to the top, but just too far away for us to touch.

Now turtles will be known as killer turtles to us. So while we were at the turtle exhibit. A turtle ate a fish that was swimming in the same tank. Wow the circle of life, MJ said, "what is he doing dad?" and of course no sugar coating it from MD he said, "the turtle is eating the fish and now it's dead".

Turtle catching the fish.

I kept telling MD that I don't think people would be smiling if they were inside a sharks mouth.



The girls running a submarine in the shark tank.

MJ thought it was pretty cool that she could stand in a fish tank. LL was too short to see up in there like MJ.

They had a neat area that was made extra large so you could see what it would be like to be an insect. The girls like the plastic snake.

love the pics! oh how we miss it! ok, dawn, i have a question and it is going to be very random. remember when we were all playing balderdash at your house? you came up with a definition for a word that i fell for and thought was so funny. and now i am racking my brain to remember what it was. the definition you used was the "bridge of your nose between your eyes" and think the correct meaning was someone who throws fire at a circus or something. do you remember? do you remember the word? i know, random, but i must find out!
