Weekend at New England Aquarium

This weekend will be our last with hb because in three days my little tot and I will be flying to my homeland Philippines. Hb has been so busy with out-of-town business trips that we seldom get time to go on our regular weekend family outings. So yesterday we went to Boston originally to go on Duck Tours but unfortunately all trips for the day were sold out. So we decided to drive to NE Aquarium instead. It was a hot and humid day, and the line to ticket booths was very long. We waited for a good 30 minutes in line before we got our turn to get the tickets.

I felt a little bit claustrophobic inside the aquarium because it was really full packed, so we decided to grab something to eat first and hoped that people would ease out when we come back. We walked to Faneuil Hall and dined at Kingfish Hall. Hb and I had Fish and Chips and I must say it was the best we had in New England so far, just enough batter and so much fresh fish in it. Little tot had Mac and Cheese with orange slices on the side. The Mac and Cheese was very salty to our taste so we asked them to change it to something subtle for my little tot's palate.

After our lunch we were ready for our under the sea adventure in the aquarium. Little tot was very high with energy and didn't want to be held anymore. But the place was still full with spectators that he would get lost easily in the crowd, so you can just imagine how stressful it was to run after him. Anyway, little tot had the best time of his life. At one exhibit, he suddenly screamed "Look at Nemo!" pointing to a clown fish in a tank. That made the people around us laugh. His favorites were the penguins, turtles, sharks, jelly fishes and stingrays.

Here are some of the shots I took of our weekend outing.
