So it was Paul's first full day in Seattle. What to do? Lucky for me he shares my passion for an Aquarium Adventure. I decided to leave the big camera at home. Gotta break 'em in slowly. :)
At the touch station. There were all kinds of treasures for us to taunt. Seastars and sea anemones. Sea urchins and sea cucumbers. Oh my!
And some creepy looking little things that freaked out and shriveled up when you touched them. Suh-weet!
I made him do it. Sorry Paul! We waited until the perfect opportunity when no one in the hugely overpopulated room would be looking at him. I blocked the octopus with my body, and snapped the picture so quick I'm sure no one even saw the flash. All so I could post it on my blog for you to see!
There ain't no shame in my game... I'll act a fool.
The real deal had to show us up. If you look real close you can see her eyes. The odd glare coming what looks like the middle of her body?? Yup, that's it. Wish she would've moved a little, but she was sitting there... breathing. All creepy like.
The super sweet arch of Jellyfish.
We caught the guy cleaning the tank I guess. Since there was a gaggle of children practically glued to the glass, this is as close as I got. Don't worry, I let 'em have the good spots. Didn't step on any this trip.
Don't get too excited, there Paul. (He claims the flash is too bright.)
The lazy sea otter. She was just floating around, cleaning herself, pondering what she was going to have for lunch I'm sure. Come to find out, she is pregnant. Oops! Yeah, I guess it's kind of a big deal around here. Made the 6 o'clock news and all.
Sooooo... we were walking down the pier after the aquarium and a real amazing dinner when we stopped off at the local arcade. Ya know, like ya do on a Friday night. I was talking all this mess about how I rocked at Skeet Ball. (I don't know what it's actually called, doesn't that tell you something?) Do we remember last time I tried this move with Riane in San Francisco and even SHE kicked my butt? Guess I'll never learn. Anyways, so I tried that line on him then didn't have the game to back it up as evidenced by this picture.
The next day we decided to walk down through and around Point Defiance in Tacoma. We found a trail that led us to some spectacular lookout points. My favorite part was when we found this sign at the entrance to one of the trails. Considering Paul and I had been talking smack back and forth about bikes all day, it was pretty fitting.
Next, it was off to the house to get ready for the aweome night to come. Yay, New Year's Eve!
