Seward Sea Life Center

On Tuesday Daddy got to stay home for Veterans Day so he decided to just take Wednesday off too since during the Winter the Sea Life Center is free on Wednesdays for Alaska Residents. 

Wednesday morning we finally got up at 8:00. Thankfully everyone got going and didn't sit around. ;-P

We left the house around 9:00, ran to Walmart and finally got on our way to Anchorage at about 9:30 I believe. We stopped for coffee at SteamDot in Anchorage. At 12:00 we were still on the road to Seward. We pulled over for about 5 minutes to look at the water real quick. It was SO windy. I really wish I could put videos on here :-( we finally arrived at 2:00 and got in free for Alaska residents free winter Wednesday's. It was really cool. There was a bunch of tanks with smaller fish and crabs and that sort of thing. There was a touch tank with weird slimy feeling things. ;-P I did touch though. ;-) there was also a huge Stellar Sea Lion named Woody. I didn't know they got that big! There was also a place where you could go into an enclosed bids area and there were a bunch of birds and some of them went under the water and swam. It was so cute when they swam...they looked like they were flying underwater. Haha! There was a place where you could go out and see Harbor Seals. 

Big crab!

I believe this was a huge shrimp. 

Star fish:-)

Woody the Stellar Sea Lion. 

That is an octopus closed eye. I thought it was very cute. 

I have no clue what this is. I just saw it in a tank. It looks like a giant prickly slug. :-/

A bird under the water. 

Aren't they pretty?

(Please don't ask how these sea lions are so much smaller than Woody. I don't  know. Lol!)

The pretty underside of a starfish 

These things looked like small creepy versions of that puffer fish in Nemo. LOL

Just some pretty things...

Very pretty jellyfish. With a reflection of daddy. 

And of course I couldn't leave without pictures of the mountains! ;-P

See that fluffy blurry thing right in the middle? That's the wind blowing snow around. 

Anyways, we had a good day:-) I got a replica of an arrow head in their gift shop and so did Bub and he also got a pyrite rock. Lol. Saxon got rock candy. 

Also, mama is doing fine as is the baby. ;-) 

I'll leave you with one more picture. ;-P

Pink mountains!! LOVE
