Earlier this year we went to Boston for a visit to the New England Aquarium and Children's Museum as many of you know our visit to the aquarium was pure hell! We never thought about being there on a Friday in June....................the week that every school plans a field trip to Boston!!!!! We knew we were screwed when there were lines of school buses at the aquarium with every imaginable state license plate. $60.00 entrance fee and we ran away in less than an hour.
So today we tried our luck in Boothbay at the Maine State Aquarium. At least here the kids could touch different sea life in their tanks and the fee was only $10.00. There was a shark tank that Boy 1 and Boy 2 was able to touch and watch sharks. There was another tank that we could pick-up Star Fish, Sea Cucumbers (not me, Carey), Crabs, Snails, Oysters and Sea Urchins. Boy 1 really liked it, it gave him a chance to touch things he hadn't before.
Even though today was rainy and every tourist with kids in Boothbay was there, we still had plenty of room to move around and check things out. It didn't hurt that the aquarium had some lobster presentation that every out-a-stater ran to, that place just emptied right out.
