Newport Aqaurium



We went across the bridge to Kentucky and went to the Newport Aquarium.  It was so much fun!  So nice.  We had gone once before a few years ago and it was even nicer than I had remembered.
Santa Shark
We saw lots of neat things, we saw mudskippers crawling out of the water onto land.  We saw lion fish and jellies and lots of sharks.  We saw penguins and got to pet sharks.

all four of them together weigh the same as a great white

shark petting tank

They had a scuba santa show that was pretty funny, albino alligators, a frog area and just really great displays.  We learned a lot and saw some things we'd never seen before.

After we went to Tom*Chee, a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant.  It was delicious.  
Our last stop of the outing was to Barnes and Noble.  Bookstore heaven!  

Now we're home and are going to finish our gingerbread cookies and probably do some reading, painting (in Grace's case, she bought a rock painting kit at B&N,) soccer ball kicking, dog walking, TV watching, family fun having.
