For our last hoorah on our drastically altered Spring Break, we headed north to Dallas. Tay had been wanting to go to Spaghetti Warehouse (she'd never been before) so here we are having lunch on the trolley.
While we really wanted to go to Ft. Worth Zoo, it was still raining so it just wasn't a possibility. I'd read one someone else's blog about Dallas World Aquarium so we headed there. It was absolutely awesome! You start out on the third level and wind your way down around a rainforest (complete with waterfall) while looking at all of the animals. As Dave said, "it's like an indoor zoo." 'Nuff said...
They had an area where they replicated sea life from different regions of the world. It was really neat...
No trip would be complete without a penguin sighting....
Or flamingoes...there were tons of these guys - they were beautiful!
You walked through a tunnel where the killer sharks were swimming all around you. It was quite eerie and I really didn't care for it (made me dizzy...remember, I was still sick) so Dave took this pic from the top of the shark tank. See the lady taking a picture from the bottom as he took one from the top?
These little guys were posing for the camera!
Watching the otters swim - our family LOVES otters...
They posed for one pic but only one...these two animal lovers were in hog heaven.
Speaks for itself...
Cutie pie...
After DWA, we took Tay to the Galleria so she could ice skate. She had never done this either but absolutely loves roller skating so we thought she'd like it. And we were right - she liked it and was very good at it. Unfortunately, because she was still recovering from being sick, her stamina wasn't what it usually is so she only lasted about 45 minutes. We'll definitely go back, though.
Hi there!
Taking a break...
Go, Taylor, go!
This concludes our Spring Break diatribe. Next up is our trip to Cameron Park Zoo...the weather was great this past weekend so we tried the outdoor version. As usual, it did not disappoint. :-)
