Fish and Family

Many of our Florida relatives are still in town, so we all decided to meet up at the aquarium. We haven’t been there in a while, so Marina was excited to go. Of course, she wore her Ariel costume.

We arrived fairly early and there was a huge line to get in. We made lunch reservations for everyone then waited to get our tickets. Once we were through the line we only had half an hour to go through the Aquarium. We went through somewhat quickly and we caught the end of the mermaid show. That made Marina happy.

When we reached the end we had just enough time for Marina to have her picture taken with the mermaids. Then we headed to the restaurant to meet the rest of the family for lunch.

After lunch, we went through the Aquarium again. When we reached the tank where the mermaids swim, Marina sat down to wait for the next show. The family found seats as well. We’d been talking so much about the mermaids that they wanted to see them for themselves!

We were a bit disappointed that we missed the meet and greet with the mermaids afterwards. But everyone seemed to have a good time. Our Florida relatives went straight from the Aquarium to the airport. We’d had a lot of fun with them. Hopefully we’ll get to see them in their state soon!

Before we left, Marina rode the carousel. Then we checked out the kids play area – one we didn’t even know was there!  Marina had a lot of fun climbing around on the sea creatures before we headed home.
