Despite off and on rain all day, we had so much fun at the St. Louis Zoo last weekend. Lil’ Miss K absolutely loved the train and the carousel. The best part about the zoo – it’s free! Tip: parking is $15, but if you get there early, there’s on-street parking only about a block farther away.

Photo(s) of the Day: I Should’ve Been A Dolphin

I’ve always been a fan of marine life. If I didn’t grow up in the most land-locked state in the United States, I would have been a marine biologist. Last week we got to experience Georgia Aquarium, and we even had the rare opportunity to scuba dive with whale sharks, manta rays, grouper, and other fish. A little known fact: whale sharks are the world’s largest fish. They’re known as “gentle giants” because even though they are sharks, they eat krill just like whales. Here are a few photos from our day at the aquarium.

Do you have a favorite photo below?

This tank was 6.3 million gallons – making it the largest aquarium in the world.

Despite their 15-foot wingspan, these manta rays were very people-friendly. When we dove with them, they swooped down inches above us to get a taste of our air bubbles.

This cute sea otter was part of the Cold Water Quest exhibit at Georgia Aquarium.

These bright fish originate from lakes in Africa. I used to have a small fish tank with little blue tetras just like the blue specs in this photo.

Jellyfish may be dangerous, but I find them to be beautiful. As long as I’m not swimming with them, of course.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! After an incredibly busy couple of weeks, I’m back to blogging. Three days after we moved in to our new house, my husband and I took a road trip. Can you guess where we went by the photo below?
