Port Aransas Part II-Texas State Aquarium

Like I said before, the rain didn't stop us.  Since we couldn't exactly go to the beach and we wanted to go to the Texas State Aquarium, we did just that!  We decided that Tuesday would be the best day...before the weather got worse.  So, we piled into two vehicles and headed that way.  A good portion of the aquarium was inside but we did get slightly wet to see some of the outside performances.  We had a great time and here are some of my favorite pictures!

The kiddos posing momentarily-they couldn't WAIT to explore!

Rachel looking through the bubble aquarium (we had to make her stop looking around to pose).

Jordyn looking through the bubble aquarium.

Scary alligator staring at us!

A LOT of fish!

I thought these were neat looking.

These little guys swim SO fast!

We ended our trip by eating at a seafood restaurant and having desert at an ice cream shop.  Yes, I splurged....and yes, I paid for it!  We really did have a great day and I'm glad I finally got to go to the Texas State Aquarium.
