So yesterday we decided to take a trip with Aizik and the little girl we babysit, Renee. Tanner's buddy Josh had his little girl with him for the iweekend, and we all thought it'd be fun to go to the Aquarium we've been told a lot about. Now Tanner and Josh are both Marines, and their fellow "buddies" are navigating for us during the trip. We get into Wilmington, following our GPS to the address Blissett told us to type in. Of course we aren't finding the aquarium, but Josh and Tanner decide the the Serpentarium looks awesome, and when we're done well just ask the person at the desk to help us find the Aquarium.
The serpentarium was actually REALLY neat, we had a great time there. Though I'm not sure something that take maybe thirty mintues to walk through should cost 8 dollars a person. BLAH. We watched them feed the snakes, etc. There were alligators, and the kids loved it. We all finally get done and we go up to the counter to get quick walking directions to the Aquarium. She informs us the Aquarium is actually anoher 30 mintues away in KURE beach. Tanner and Josh's buddies had sent us to the Serpentarium on purpose. Ugh. So Aizik's wondering why were getting back in the car and we inform in that this was infact just a pit stop on our way to the beach.
30 mintues later we arrive at our destination, with 35 minutes to walk through cause they'll be closing. FML. The Aquarium was really big, and there was so much to look at. Once again another 25 dollars to walk through, which I wouldn't of minded cause it was so big. Unfortuanately, listening to a bunch of Marines back at the barracks, bad idea. Not something I would suggest. We really sat in the car in the BK parking lot for 40 minutes trying to figure out where we were going. lol.
All in all it was a FUN day, maybe today we can head to the beach... without any pitstops.
