We visited the Florida Aquarium today! Located in downtown Tampa, the aquarium features and focuses on the animals and marine life found in Florida wetlands and oceans. They also throw some penguins in there for good measure.
Emmy couldn't reach far enough to pet the stingrays, but she enjoyed splashing in the water.
I told Emmy about every fish I know about. I used to work an aquarium a few years ago so I have lots of random fishy knowledge that makes me a really useful aquarium companion! I could have stayed in front of the huge tank filled with sharks, turtles, stingrays, eels, and all sorts of fish forever.
This funny girl is always so happy and full of light. Everyone here is always telling me what an amazing baby she is. Sometimes I think I take it for granted or don't realize it, but days like today where I can walk through an entire aquarium and then go for lunch with nothing but smiles from my girl make me really appreciate it. I definitely have babywearing to thank for that. She loves being close to me and seeing all the things that I get to see, getting to be eye level and being able to reach out and touch things.. Also not having to fight through a crowd with a stroller is pretty amazing!
Just a couple days until we head home and we are making the most of them.
