What a wonderful place to visit! I couldn't get over all the incredible sea life!
Julianne and I had a great time photographing and learning about the aquatic creatures!! This was my first time, at an aquarium, with a digital camera. There is definitely a learning curve. I plan on going back, for sure!!!
