Once we got there we went in, and the kids absolutely loved it! We started off seeing the jelly fish, then went in a bunch of glass tubes to see sting rays, star fish and sharks. I have to say, it's a little unnerving being in glass tubes under the water/bay in an earthquake prone region.
You can't tell by the look on his face, but Matteo was really enjoying it.
After the glass tunnels, they had a petting area to pet star fish, sting rays and even baby sharks! Matteo was in heaven, although he was getting a little frustrated not being able to reach the sharks. He finally managed to touch one and we avoided a meltdown...whew!
After we finished, we sat outside and ate our lunch. Although I didn't pack one for myself :-/
Then we headed over to the seal statue to get a picture. I have the exact same picture of Cristina in front of this statue from when we were dating.
I couldn't pass up Matteo actually posing for a picture.
We then went over to see the real seals, and while we were there, we got a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Checking out the seals.
Getting 3 to look is next to impossible.
After the seals we headed back to the MUNI stop to catch the street car back to Embarcadero station.
We ended our morning with a stop by the grocery store to pick up some essentials (Jell-o), then headed back 'home'. I attempted to implement nap time, but the big boys were having nothing of it.
