Aquarium of NC on Roanoke Island

 We spent the afternoon at the aquarium.  It was small but everything was nice and they had lots of great programs and activities.  When we first walked in they had gloves for the kids to decorate as starfish.
 The first thing we did was go to the "graveyard" to watch the sharks and hear a diver talk.  They had some really big sharks and it was fun to watch them.  The diver had a rescue diver with him with a stick to keep away the sharks.  Fun to watch.
 We also got to watch the alligators get fed, watch a movie about octopi and touch rays and other sea creatures.
 It was a highlight of our week.
In the evening we bought pizza for the kids and then left the girls in charge while we went out to an adult dinner.  Capt George's all you can eat seafood buffet!  Yumm!!!
