I love aquariums

This is why we're here.
 We all got City Passes when my family came. It was a little book of tickets that got us into the aquarium and some museums and on a cruise around the bay, as well as unlimited use of the bus and trolleys!
 We went to the Fisherman's Warf to go to the Aquarium on the Bay
 We saw lots of wild jellies.

 This is the nasty underside of a skate, which is like a ray but its head is on the underside. And I just really think this face is so gross! It has such big lips...it just...I hate it.
 But I love love LOVE rays! This was a little pond where you could pet the rays and even some sharks. Rays are so smooth and they flap their wings and they have little happy faces :D I love them.
 We had a rather long wait for the trolley, so we played a lot of thumb wars.
Trolleys are so fun! Ask Garrett about them, he really loves explaining how they work.

How is the weather there? I am a little jealous that I see people in jackets! The aquarium looks delightful, and you are right about that skate thing. Nasty!

Is that first picture where Garrett is doing his internship? Jeff said that company is one of his company's sponsors!

So, what is your plan after you get back from CA?
