Aquarium Adventure

We had a big adventure yesterday -- we spent the entire afternoon at the Houston Aquarium.  It's basically an entertainment complex run by Landry's, which is really quite fantastic for what it is.  Those who try to compare it with the Monterey Bay Aquarium find it lacking but... really, people, let's be realistic, this is not a major research institute, it's a Landry's.  And it's the most spectacular seafood restaurant I've ever visited.

There's an interesting aquarium with lots of tanks of big fish, a petting tank, a shark nursery, and even a section with some white tigers (which are not aquatic, but still interesting).  We posed for a few pictures at the equivalent of the Kodak Photo Spot.

They have a neat seafood... er...aquatic carousel, which gave Samantha some cause for alarm.

And, we end up on the bench again.  Not just for teenagers on dates anymore.

The caption for this photo can only be "we waited in line 20 minutes for THIS?!?"

 

This is Samantha on the shark train, which winds through the complex and gives a delightfully air conditioned, if somewhat short, tour of the shark tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, Papa Cal, there's your update... complete with photos of the bangs.
