Long Beach Aquarium

Our half-marathon goodie bag came with free admission to the Long Beach Aquarium, so we all went the day before the race. We were greeted by Sammy the Shark, Sammy the little boy thought the sea creature looked friendly enough to pose with, as long as Daddy was nearby.


Before we entered the exhibits, the kids were already partying it up in the parking structure.


Ooh, lovely sea creatures...


Anna and Sam are getting in line for a hands-on exhibit, I love how they are holding hands and getting along here.


Now they are waiting for a seal lion to swim by. This is my favorite photo of the day.


Hand to fin, how wonderful!


Each time I go to Long Beach, I'm loving it more and more. The weather is wonderful, the scenery near the beach is amazing, and there are some great restaurants nearby. Hooray for LB!
