Day 3 in San Diego is kind of a blur. I can't really recall the morning, though I'm sure J and I wanted to stab each other in the eye. That's what happens when you are cooped up in a tiny, non-baby proofed condo instead of being out in the fresh ocean air. I don't remember if Genevieve had a nap before we went to the aquarium or if we hoped that she'd fall asleep on the way.
It didn't take long to arrive at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps in La Jolla. Before entering I snapped this pic of J and G.
If you've been to the Seattle Aquarium, as we have, then most other aquariums will be ruined for you. This one was not even in the same league as Seattle, but there were still some good exhibits.
I liked this pregnant wolf eel resting on her side.
There were a lot of kids there, but we were able to get plenty of viewing time.
We went outside to check out the tide pool creatures, but Genevieve was mostly interested in climbing up and down the steps. She took a break from that to pick up leaves. We joked about how we payed $17 for J and I and all G cared about was steps and leaves! Oh well.
The view from the outdoor area at the aquarium was pretty nice.
They have an exploration area outside where Genevieve and J had fun making waves. We put G into the shark's mouth for a picture, but her favorite thing outside was the shark cage. She ran in there, danced around, talked to some big kids, ran out, grabbed the bars, danced some more...you get the idea. Genevieve was being Genevieve.
After our aquarium visit, it was back to the condo for G's nap. She slept for about an hour and a half and woke up with just enough time to get ready to meet a friend of mine for dinner. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and had a great visit with Cinnamon, who is expecting her first baby, a son, in August. It was a great close to our third day in San Diego!
