Today was such a fun day! James and I took the day off and decided to take Elaina to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach! It was the first time any of us had been there and it was so cool. Elaina was so excited to see the bright colored tropical fish and she got right up close to the glass. She is not timid or scared at all. The only problem was that when it was time to move on to the next attraction she did not want to go back in her stroller. There was also the bird exhibit that she really liked because there are hundreds of beautiful colorful birds flying freely all around you and they literally get within inches of you (some even landed other people). But, I think her most favorite thing at the Aquarium was the play area near the shark lagoon. There is a wooden boat to play in and climb on along with other sea life figures to play and climb on. All the kids there loved the boat and I don't think any of them wanted to leave (go figure)! My favorite attraction had to be the Seals & Sea Lions, they were adorable, hugging and kissing each other swimming right up to the glass and everything! Very cute. We even had lunch there, but, then it was time for Elaina's nap (actually it was passed her nap time and she was getting a little cranky). We bought her a cute t-shirt as a souvenir of trip and then left and walked around for a little while outside so Elaina could fall asleep, which was not very long at all (she was so tired). I hope we get to go back again soon (next time after Elaina's nap though).
It was such a beautiful & warm day that when we got home Elaina got to go in the spa with her Papa, one of her favorite things to do. She absolutely loves the water. And James & I went to the movies and saw Transformers 2 (it was a really cool movie).
It was truly a Sweet Sunny Day & I hope to have many, many more like them! :)
