The Abatti Family: Aquarium of the Pacific

Last weekend we packed up and headed to Ojai for a stay with the Haley's. Weston and Aiden are only 5 months apart and have a great time together. We were going to stay there for the night and then get up and head down to Long Beach to check out the Aquarium of the Pacific. We had talk about Monterey a million times, but decided it was too big for the boys. We made a great choice! It only took about an hour to get there from their house, the boys slept the whole way. Once we were there they were off and running, I mean running! At this point we were not thinking is was such a good choice ;) Once we got them under "control", whatever that means, we were able to actually look at all the animals.

Aiden was overwhelmed, to say the least. He LOVED it. Didn't know where or what to look at first. He wanted to be sure we looked at everything, but only when he told us to, and were done and off to the next, only when he told us to. One of the first things we got to do was "pet" the Bat rays. So cool. I wasn't sure how Aiden would do, but he loved them. Probably wanted to get in the pool with them and go swimming, a boy after my own heart!

The boys lasted about 4 hours and then it was time to go. We packed up the car, the boys passed out, and we were back to Ojai in no time. Jeff and I didn't want to put Aiden back in the car so we hung out, went to Sushi and then headed home. What a weekend, thanks Haley's!
