Seattle Aquarium

Today was a fun day in Seattle. After a day of travel that involved Riley throwing up on the 1st leg of the trip, the 2nd leg of the trip and in the rental car. What a great traveler she is. Today we ventured off to the aquarium and the Pike's market area in downtown.

Right off the bat there is a tidal pool area that features real waves.

Riley was able to get up close and personal and touch quite a few tide pool ocean life.











That is a BIG fish.



awwww, he's just 3.5 months old. I wanted to take him home and put hiim in the pool but Krista said no. :(





Here's baby and momma.


This is the grams of the Seattle Aquarium otter world.


Here are some seals.










The view from the aquarium.












This is called a "big skate". It was dark in that room so he doesn't come out real good but he's kind of shaped like a sting ray. You should be able to make out his face here. Krista is convinced that at some point this was a real person and through some kind of sorcery he was turned into a skate. Such personality. I tried a couple of times to get a picture with his mouth open because he seemed to be saying "help me".



Riley then convinced Grams to take her on the carousel.
