Aquarium of the Smokies

I guess I will finally start posting some vacation pictures, but that means admitting that vacation is really over....  Greta's favorite part of the Smoky Mountains was the aquarium.  It really is an excellent aquarium with lots of interaction for younger kids.  She has talked about it almost every day since our trip (and gets very upset if you don't call each fish by their correct scientific name).  It's really hard to photograph in the aquarium with all the reflective stuff, but I tried anyway.

The weedy seadragon was probably my favorite fish, plus I think this pic turned out great!


There was a moving walkway that went under/through a huge tank.  I think Greta was enjoying the walkway more than the fish at times.  This is what I saw when I ran ahead to snap a pic of her and Sam on the walkway.
Yikes!  Sure hope I never run into one of these in the ocean.
She loved this exhibit
