Seaquarium

It seems a bit surprising to me that it took us three years of frequent travel to Miami to make it to the Sequarium. Somehow are days seem pretty full whenever we manage to escape to the warmer climate for a few days. Well, this last trip was a bit longer the usual - a whole five days - so we decided to take advantage and explore.

Now we've been to an Aquarium before. Heck, we lived ten minutes away from the New York Aquarium for a few years. However, nothing we've seen thus far compares to the Miami Sequarium. The abundance of different creatures - sharks, alligators, orkas - was simply amazing. I think all of us (Sasha, Ari and I) would agree that animal shows were the most memorable.

It was a hot hot day. Hats and sunscreens were an absolute must. Here is Miss Sasha fully prepared for the dolphin show:

It was really fun to be this close to the pool. Not only did we have the best view but we also got splashed quite a bit on a hot steamy day. Miss Sasha was very impressed by the graceful acrobatics of the dolphins:

Of course, nothing could beat the sheer shock of being close to an orka. These mammals are absolutely enormous. Much less graceful but impressive nontheless:

After watching the shows we took refuge under the roof of a snack bar. Sasha's eyes lit up the second she saw a popcorn machine:

I swear she and Ari ate their weight in popcorn. I am convinced that their mutual love of popcorn has something to do with their shared birthday of May 15:

After we indulged in a yummy snack we walked around. Of course Miss Sasha had to pose with a statue of a dolphin:

Surely no trip to the Miami Seaquarium is complete without posing with a 'gator:



and acting like one:
