Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

A Visit to the Seattle Aquarium

We received some Seattle Aquarium tickets as a gift so it was the perfect opportunity to take our kids and visit.   The last time I went was in 2005 before they renovated.  The entrance looked different from last time with a very large space with high ceilings and a gorgeous floor to ceiling glass display to see the fish.  Then a long hallway with more displays that led to another room with some favorites like the Jellyfish and the Octopus.  Another highlight was seeing the Sea Otters and the Sea Lions.  And of course, the Underwater Dome, which I've always liked.  You can even watch the daily feedings at 1:30.  So go check it out, if you haven't yet!
