Stacy and I took Nicholas to the aquarium this morning, with mixed results. Unfortunately they don't allow strollers, so there was no way to give him a break and a little nap, which means we only got to stay about an hour. In the future I might take the stroller and check it and then walk around the lobby for 20 minutes when he needs a nap. Or something.
Since we only stayed an hour it wasn't worth the $50 we paid, but I think for a year it will be worth the extra $50-$150 (depending on the package) for a membership to be able to go for the rest of the year.
Nicholas enjoyed looking at the fish in the tanks. I think to him it basically was the same as watching TV--all sorts of brightly colored things moving around behind glass--but it seems somehow better for him. He enjoyed following the moving fish and dolphins around the tanks with his eyes, but he didn't quite understand the concept of glass. At one point he tried to reach out and grab a jellyfish! Silly boy.
No, not the jellyfish! I know from experience those are BAD NEWS.
