There's no better way to spend a cold snowy/rainy February day then at the New England Aquarium in Boston with the family. Having learned the hard way, we knew to arrive at 9am right as the doors opened because it gets uber-crowed by 11. Since we had the place practically to ourselves for the first 40 minutes, we were able to see everything at the kid's preffered pace, which was RUN! We had an early lunch there too, and ended our visit in the new room with stingrays that you can touch. They were both smooth and slimy feeling.
No, I didn't buy this picture from the aquarium, but this small version was available free (well, if you know how to take a print screen) on their website.
Genevieve and Phillip look at the penquins
Dan and Sebastien look at the "New England Ponds" tank and find a sunfish which Sebastien is still proud to say that he caught one of them while fishing months ago.
Grandma shows Genevieve the starfish
Grandpa and Sebastien look down into the big circular tank as the giant sea turtles swim by.
Genevieve needed a little break so we came into the playroom.
This is the new stingray touch-tank room. So cool! Both kids weren't afraid to touch them...and of course Genevieve wanted to jump in.
Us outside the aquarium.
What a fun morning!
