AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC

Amanda has wanted to take Sylvie since she was six months old to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA. With the LA Marathon today in Los Angeles, and the route literally in our backyard, we decided today was the day to go on an adventure. Out the door 10am sharp, in the L.B. by 1045am, exhibit one under our belt by 1105am. Sylvie was super tourist, leading us every which way from exhibit to exhibit...she did not let up and set the pace for the day - pirates booty in hand. The big mission of the morning was to find Nemo, the good news...we found him. From clown fish, to sharks, turtles, sea lions, king crabs, rare birds, turtles, eels, etc - you name it, they had it. Afterward, we ventured outside into the marina where you could see the beautiful cityscape backdrop. We came upon an old lighthouse at the Shoreline Aquatic Park. Sylvie finally submitted to her coat when the wind picked up and almost blew her into the Pacific. Great to get out of Los Angeles for the day.
