Downtown Aquarium

BeTuesday, July 1st we went to the Downtown Aquarium, located at 410 Bagby Street @ Memorial Drive. 

Every Tuesday they do Buy One Get One of their All Day Adventure Pass. Since Beau was free, we only paid $18.99 for admission. 

We went around 10 am, just rode our bikes. It was super packed. We met up a former student of mine and his family. It was hard to enjoy it because it was really crowded in the aquarium, so Beau had to be held at all times. And it was so hot outside we couldn't enjoy the games. So we left and returned at about 6 pm since we still had our wrist bands on. 

What a difference that made. There were hardly any people around so Beau could run around like a wild man. It was cool
outside so we rode the carousel and the train. 
Beau even fed a sting ray! Not really, but he almost touched one. 
Probably the coolest was the Siberian White Tiger. There are usually two, but when we went there was only one. We must have visited it close to feeding time because it was pacing back and forth, and would even put it's front paws on the glass. It was really intense. 
We had such a great time we plan in going there next Tuesday.
