Maggie’s Fishy Day

The main event for our California trip this year was the Birch Aquarium at Scripps in La Jolla. Maggie loves fish so Hubby and I were excited to take her to this super-cool aquarium.

Nana and Papaw came to California for a couple of days so they could experience it with her. They are her original fish folks, after all.

Unfortunately, Maggie wasn’t feeling the best. She is currently teething, and also had a little cold at the time, so she was very stuffy. That did not stop her from running around, though.

That was her favorite part of the aquarium, by the way. All the running around.

We were able to wrangle her for a family photo op.

The kelp forest was a favorite feature and was where she did most of her running and climbing. They had two guys cleaning the inside of the tank, so that was fun to watch. You can see them in the scuba gear.

Maggie capped the day off with a taste of her first cannoli.

And yes, the girl really liked it.
