SC Aquarium

Today, we took Kendall for her first trip to the aquarium.  She loved it!  Ryan and I were married at the aquarium and haven’t been back since then, almost 2 years ago.  It was special to now being going back with our daughter and experience everything as a family. When the fish swam passed her view, she tapped on the tanks each time as if to say, “look at me over here!” She was in complete awe.  I think we might have a pet fish one day.  There were SO many fish to see and one of them was a huge blue catfish (below, far right).We were able to see two bird exhibits and Kendall was much more entertained by the penguins then the eagle.  The bald eagle didn’t do much but stare at everyone.  We were able to see a penguin out of the tank while the aquarium staff took it on a ride through the main walk through.One of the most recently added attractions at the aquarium is the albino alligator.  This was the best picture I could get because there were ropes preventing people from getting too close to the tank.  He was just hanging out, not moving one bit. The jellyfish were neat to watch.  Ryan’s iPhone captured the first two pictures.  Such pretty colors!We were able to stop an aquarium staff member to take a family photo by the main tank and this is the best we got.  Sadly, it’s somewhat blurry and little miss saw something better to look at. After we were done checking out the exhibits inside, we headed outside to snap a few more pictures known to the aquarium.  Kendall was less than impressed with Mr. Frog! Always have to have a picture of the bridge! What a sight to see. We had such a fun time today and we look forward to bringing Kendall back soon and to one day hear her little voice say, “Mommy, Daddy, come look at the sea turtle!”  She is going to love everything the aquarium has to offer.  I know Ryan and I did.  This visit to the aquarium was one to remember, always!
