Acuario Veracruz

We had parent day on Monday and that found the kids and I visiting the local aquarium, Acaurio Veracruz. It was cool. Although the aquarium is small, they had some good exhibits. Jade loved the passageways that went under the tanks where you could see all the fish, sharks, and turtles swimming above you. We had a blast and the kids loved the interaction exhibits where you could touch the animals and different shells and bones.

I have been to some amazing aquariums in my travels. The best was the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon. Which was at that time (1997) the home of Kieko the orca whale, made famous in the “Free Willy” movies.

One of Adrian’s favorites is the Texas State Aquarium, in Corpus Christie Tx.

We had decided before hand to have a picnic lunch on the beach so after the Acaurio, we stopped by the store to get lunch and headed for the beach. The wind had picked up quite a bit by this time so on arrival to the windswept beach with stinging sand flying through the air we decided on having lunch in the truck while looking out on the waves. It was fun in it’s own way and we all had a good time.
