Aquarium of the Pacific

I am way behind on some of these travel posts.
Like, months behind.
But unpublished posts are great for Saturdays where blogging is the last thing you wanna do, because it may or may not be the last day of sunshine before official-fall arrives.
You know, those days.

So here we are, or there we were, in the Long Beach Aquarium the day after the Ink n Iron convention in June

There were lots of pretty creatures

And a couple of really ugly ones too

Some were tiny

Like this guy

And some were huge, like this old fella

And some were see though!

Wait a minute, that kind looks like a...

This was in the petting zoo section (it was a little slimy)That's an unfortunate name if i ever heard one

Outside there were sharks, rays and a huge lorikeet cage, that me and Hanna went into more than once

We thought it was so adorable when two of them climbed onto my bag

That's until we found out that they were eating it!

I asked them politely to leave, but that didn't work, and neither did shaking the bag, so in the end i had to walk over to a staff member and ask her to please remove her naughty birds!

After she's gotten them off, they gave me this "what?! i'm just an innocent parrot"-look.... yeah, you're not, though, and my bag has the beak holes to prove it!

And lastly, Allan and his bitches?

See more aquarium goodness on Hanna's blog.
And have a nice weekend!
