Long Beach Aquarium

Saturday we decided to brave the traffic down to LA once more to go to the Aquarium of the Pacific down at Long Beach. It was a gorgeous day and we had such a great time seeing all the fishes and boats. 

Me and Peter looking at one of the bigger tanks featuring a cartoonish looking Dorie. The entire time we were there, he'd run up to each new tank and say 'hi fishies.' or 'Hello there fishies.' Cracked us up every time.


Trav and Pete hanging out in a boat.
Petey screwing up his courage to touch the starfish in the tidepool.
Tiny baby Seahorses. They were only 4 weeks old and probably as big as my fingernail. So cute.
They also had a lorikeet exhibit - birds that will come up and drink nectar out of cup in your hand. Peter was fascinated by all the pretty birdies and so Trav of course was trying to pet one until he came over and said "It bit me."  Really?

After the Aquarium, we took Petey for a ride on the carousel - which he loved - and then wandered around the docks.
 

Mustard! ('musrd mommy!')
Lunch Petey style

Then we hiked up to see the lighthouse and got a great view of the marina.
That's what the big shadow is from behind us.

Ahoy there mateys.
