The day after Krystal and Josh left, John and I chaperoned a trip to the Seaquarium! We left around 11:30am and stayed at the seaquarium until about 3:00. My RAs had purchased lunch for everyone, so when we got there we had a picnic. When everyone was done everyone went on their own to explore.Lunch

Me and my boo
The seaquarium is not as big as I expected it to be and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. It was really geared towards children. However, we still had fun. John and I missed the shark feeding :( but we did get to see the flipper show! It was awesome. Dolphins are so smart!
I kind of wanted one after watching the show. lol
John and I also made it to the stingray feeding! First we got to pet them and then the trainers let us feed them :D. They gave us shrimp and you were supposed to hold it between your fingers with your palm up. Their mouths are under their body so they had to swim over your hand to get the food. It was the weirdest feeling! It felt like a vacuum hose's suction. lol.Me feeding one
John feeding one- he fed the southern one!
My favorite stingray- of course it's polka dotted!
Next to the stingrays were all these exotic birds. they were so pretty and so well behaved!
We also got to see some manatees. One of the manatees in the aquarium had been hit by a boat and had 75% of his tail gone :( and he was paralyzed. It made me sad for him.
There was an awesome view of the skyline!
The sea lions
Alligators
More Dolphins! They were so cool to watch. They would put on shows because they knew people were watching.
Overall, we had a lot of fun. I probably wont go back because the price for a ticket is outrageous. I do wish we got to see more shows, but it was a nice day out and it was relaxing.
