This has been a trip that has been almost a year in the works. We wanted to take Caroline last year for her birthday but the aquarium was under renovations until September. We were going to take her in the fall but the idea of me waddling around 9 months pregnant wasn't appealing so we waited for her 4th birthday present. Every year we like to do something during the week, the three of us. Doesn't have to always be something super exciting, but it's about us spending family time. George stayed with Nana while we left for Boston. We headed down early in the morning spent the whole day in Boston. Caroline was excited to see skyscrapers and the aquarium. We didn't get to ride on a subway, but there is always next time! We all had a lot of fun seeing the penguins, seals, sting rays, etc. Caroline really improved from last years aquarium trip in South Carolina. She touched all of the stingrays, a few sharks and of course the star fish etc. We came home with a small stuffed penguin and cute little wooden dream boxes with their names on them. Sadly, it's not often you see the classic names on things anymore!?!
Starting our ride off with a few details about the aquarium
Caroline loved the scuba divers in SC and was excited there were some here as well
Another request she wanted to see was jellyfish.
Caroline had lots of questions for the staff members
Here she was asking why the seals weren't playing with their toys and doing tricks
She learned that while they have toys, they aren't taught tricks since that isn't
something they do in their natural habitat
Those are 5 baby sharks sleeping in a little den
She loved that they were brushing the harbor seals teeth with a power toothbrush
The grumps!
At the top of the huge tank
They asked if anyone had questions and Caroline asked why the sea turtles
liked jellyfish and then got to feed her some lettuce
Maybe 5 minutes after leaving? :)
