This past weekend I visited the Aquarium of the Pacific with my family. My 4-year-old son loves “ocean animals” and had been begging since we moved here in August. Let’s just say that it was worth the wait and none of us were disappointed!
It’s so fascinating to see creatures that we don’t encounter every day. To watch them float through clear waters amid beautiful plants, rocks, and coral. It’s mesmerizing to watch and I could have stood at the seahorse and jellyfish tank all day.
The leafy sea dragon is another fascinating guy. Amazing how nature works, huh?
This starfish put on a little show, as well, seemingly kicking up his heels and giving a friendly wave at the visitors!
And this guy gives off a bit of a menacing vibe. Beautiful and intricate markings with elaborate fins, but I wouldn’t want him to swim by my leg at the beach!
I found plenty of beauty outside the Aquarium, too. The city of Long Beach has a beautiful water-front path lined with bricks that create some really cool lines.
And a lovely little park on a peninsula, complete with lighthouse, palm trees, and soft grass hills, perfect for rolling down!
Amy, these photos are breathtaking! What an incredible place! You should enlarge and frame these for your house!
