The Sarasota Aquarium

The day before the games started, Chris got home early because they only had a quick practice.  So we decided to drive up to Sarasota and go the aquarium.  This place was awesome.  It was just big enough that Jace stayed interested and didn't get too tired walking around.  We saw fish (which he calls "bees"), jelly fish, sting rays, sea lions, dolphins, sea turtles, manatees and sharks.  It was so much fun.  I even got a yearly membership because this is definitely something that Jace and I will come do when Chris is playing further away and we have nothing to do.  We were in and out in about an hour and a half.  Perfect.  Here are some pics!  :)
