A Cold Day at the Beach

We only had one good day of beach weather last weekend. We are so thankful that we got to enjoy one morning at the beach.

On Monday we took the kids to the aquarium on Roanoke Island. One of the best things about this aquarium is that we get in FREE with our FONZ membership. I love being able to use our membership at other places besides the National Zoo. The American Alligators are one of the highlights. Wesley really enjoyed the movie, Alligator Swamp.

What the aquarium lacks in size, it makes up for in quality. There is a nice touch tank that the kids enjoyed. Below is a sea turtle. Below is a Caribben Spiny Lobster. We were only in the aquarium for a little over an hour but it was fun. So, if you are looking for a rainy day activity at the Outer Banks we recommend going to the aquarium. Lydia fell asleep in the car as soon we left. She slept while the rest of us enjoyed having Sonic for lunch. I wish a Sonic would open near us!
