Vancouver Aquarium

For the sea creature fanatic in the family, Owee, we went to the Vancouver Aquarium down in Vancouver. You get to take this sea to sky highway between Whistler and Vancouver and while some might call it beautiful, Maya would call in vomit-inducing, as she purged her system clean on the way back up. Poor Maya, her little belly just can't handle windy roads.

This is her checking out a sea lion, a hungry sea lion that kept jumping out of the water to see if his food was ready. Very entertaining...

O and dad checking out the map. Owen loves maps and always consults them when we go anywhere.

Inside the aquarium they had clownfish cove, a specially designed place for kids. Thank goodness! Maya's love for sea creatures isn't as steady as Owen's so she was kind of bored.


She really liked poking the starfish.

Owen tried it but didn't really like getting his hands all wet...

He did like this thing though...



this is where we ate our overpriced, not all-that-delicious lunch..cool wall art though...

this is where the baby beluga's live. did you know baby beluga's are grey (there were two 3-month-old's in the pool that day) and they turn white as they grow? I thought they were dolphins at first. Silly mommy...




The aquarium is in Stanley Park so we cruised around there after our visit...
