We went to the aquarium again this past Saturday, since we got a year's membership last December and Dave and Brennan didn't go with us that time. Plus we heard it might be rainy again, and after feeling stuck in the house the previous rainy Saturday, we wanted to get out and do something fun.
First we went to lunch at Bubba Gump on Cannery Row. We've seen it there before and wanted to try it; then our neighbor raved about it recently, so we thought we'd give it a try. It was such a fun restaurant, covered with quotes from the movie Forrest Gump and ping pong paddles and such.
We especially liked the signs in the middle of each table that we could change from "Run Forrest Run," meaning we don't need anything,
..to "Stop Forrest Stop," meaning we need help from our server. I think every restaurant needs something like that! They were so quick.
We got the kids something called boat trash, which was a bucket of all kinds of seafood - including lobster claws. These were a huge hit, and they played with the empty claw the rest of the day.
Then we headed over to the aquarium. It wasn't quite as crowded as it was over the holidays, which was nice. My kids can't get enough of the hands-on stuff. That's what they spend most of their time doing there. Here's some pretty pictures from the day:

It was a chilly day, but it didn't rain until the way home.

What a fun day! I love your pictures of the marine animals. I keep wanting to take my kids there, but every time we're in CA we somehow seem to miss it.
