San Antonio Aquarium 2018

 

Mike and I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio, TX (him for work...me just tagging along) in September 2018. My best friend's daughter, Haley, lives there. We got together and went to the aquarium there. From the outside, the building doesn't look like much. It's stuck in between businesses on a busy street. BUT... its like a mini zoo inside... with sea animals, reptiles and birds.

I'd like to point out how I achieved the title, as I wanted to make it look like the sign for the aquarium. All it is, is text (Baskerville Old Face). I inserted spaces to accommodate the starfish embellishment... and there it is! 

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Greater Cleveland Aquarium

 

In July 2017, Mike and I drove downtown to see the Greater Cleveland Aquarium.  I have been there before, but this was the first experience for Mike. It is a bit smaller than aquariums that we have visited in the past in other cities, but it was good to see. We decided to take the Trolley ride around downtown to see the sites and to learn some history too! Very informative!

Thanks for taking a look!

Dana Point

 

In February 2017, we flew to California to visit with Mike's family. We took a trip to Dana Point with his parents and spent a few days there enjoying the weather and each other. Whenever we do get the chance to go to Dana Point, we never miss out on eating at The Brig! We met up with Mike's Aunt and Uncle for lunch at Jon's Fish Market. Then we ate dinner at El Torito.
