The Aquarium of the Smokies.

One more post about Gatlinburg! Since it was rainy we decided to visit the aquarium. We went a few years ago and enjoyed it. It isn't huge, just the right length I think. I can't remember what this fish was called, but it looks like it had been deep fried! 

 A lot of other people had the same idea! It was so crowded! 
I love the silly lips of a saw fish! I tried to get a picture of one with Travis when they swam by, but they moved too fast. The tunnel through the shark tank is always a fun exhibit.
There are some things you can't help by try and capture. Jelly fish are always so beautiful, and they way they are lit makes for great photos. They are such amazing creatures. I don't even understand how they can be alive!
 Travis is so cute. I love that he is down for posing in whatever silly way I ask. Someday I'll let him take pictures of me so I'll be in these trip photos too. There isn't even one of me from this trip.
 Horse shoe crabs.
 I am totally scared of sharks. There was this video screen where you could speed up / slow down / reverse all these shark videos and it made my stomach hurt! They just creep me out so much! Of course I still had to take a picture.
 And penguins are always cute. These had their names on their wing bands. I loved that!
 Travis and Mo Mo had a real moment.

  3. I haven't been to the Chicago aquarium in ages... I like how the one you visited had interactive exhibits (like the crabs!). The penguins are adorable, I've never seen them identified by name before.

    It really is a great aquarium, not the biggest, not the most variety, but they have really cool presentation
