Aquarium of the Bay
About a month ago, the Aquarium of the Bay had several free days for SF residents. Since I had never been there and my driver's license still says I live in SF we decided to go. I have always wanted to check out this aquarium on Pier 39, but they never offer free days, it's expensive, and it doesn't have the best reputation, so I never went. We really enjoyed it! It focuses on the San Francisco Bay's aquatic animals and plant life and has a long, clear tunnel where we saw sharks and bat rays. We also caught a glimpse of an octopus in hiding. The octopus never leaves her cave while protecting her eggs and literally starves herself to death, sometimes before the eggs even hatch. So fascinating! The aquarium is not as big as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so we didn't feel like we had to rush and see everything before the kids were ready to leave.

I love the one of Sienna poking her head up! So cute! Wish we could have joined you!
Lucky you! That looks like a lot of fun. I haven't seen pictures of the kids for a bit, and they have gotten SO big! Dillon is a little Jeff, he is so cute, I love the dimples. Wish we saw you guys more often!
In that last pic Dylan looks like he's trying to grab one of them sting rays. Isn't that the petting area?
Sienna really looks like you in the last picture and of course Dillon still is a mini Jeff. SOO CUTE!!! Can't wait to see you guys
