Toby has been working a lot lately so we decided the other day to make an evening trip downtown to the aquarium. Since it is light till almost 9pm we knew that going after work we would still have time to do everything. We got down there and Cash was amazed just by the things that were outside before we even got in the doors. He was pointing to all the fish and sharks and talking about them.
This was the perfect ttime to go this week. Since school was still in and it was a workday there was hardly anyone there. We got to walk through all the exhibits and see all the fish with no people around. Cash got to run free and did not have to be in his stroller. It was great!
There were fish and sharks and even stingrays that we got to touch. Every where you looked there was something swimming around you. Cash really enjoyed it.
They have a train outside that you can take that drives you around the park and through a tunnel that surrounds you by water and swimming sharks. Since no one was there, we got to sit on the front of the train, and there were only 5 other people total on the train with us.
While we were there I got Toby and Cash to get on the ferris wheel. This is the biggest and the fastest one that I have ever rode. It goes up over Interstate 45 and it by the skyscrapers downtown. It was pretty neat to ride on. I freaked out a little bit. It moved a little faster than I was expecting! Cash was a little worried at first but then really liked it.
It is not just a place for fish.... they had real tigers too. They were sleeping while we were there, so we did not get to see them moving much. This was taken by the entrance to the tiger pen.
Even though we went late in the day it was HOT! Gotta love Houston! They had a misting cooling station that Cash and Toby ran through. Cash did not know what to think about it! Afterwards it was time to eat, and since we were already downtown Houston, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and ate dinner there. By the time we got home around 10pm, we were all exhausted! It was great to spend some time as a little family!
