We took a mini trip to Long Beach to check out the Aquarium of the Pacific and we were not disappointed.  Lots to see even at toddler level, both my kids enjoyed touching the rays, seeing the tiniest sea horses and finding Dory in just about every exhibit.

Really, rays are the best.

But jellys are stunning, so…

And we couldn’t help but love the seahorses… and the Dad is the one who gets pregnant, so he’s totally my hero.

We enjoyed a few of the other characters in between.

Worth the crowds and the price tag, this was a great place to spend an afternoon.
