Happy Father's Day, Mike. Hope you got spoilt.....with a nice new lens!

We did the SeaLife Aquarium today. Adults were 19.99 and it was $10 more to add Legoland but we declined. It took us over 2.5 hours to walk thru the mini aquarium. To put it in perspective I have been to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago (awesome!) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey California (also very good). The KC one was good/okay. It is not world class but it had enough to keep us busy and entertained. It was my wife, youngest daughter (14) and I and we all agreed it was worth the money. This is contrary to what I have heard before from others. Here are some pics...

On Friday I took the lens (10-22) out to one of my favorite spots lately (Weatherby Lake). We have so many wonderful lakes up in North KC. I think its me missing the Pacific Ocean again. There is some kind of love affair I have with it. I can't wait to get back out there again.

Can you forward this to my wife?

Thanks for you feedback on the new aquarium here in town. We didn't even realize it was open until we picked up a travel brochure in a DQ in western Kansas!

I guess they better get moving on their local advertising..... or I better crawl out from under my rock.

I went to school in Chicago, so went to Shedd more times than I can count. If I recall, it used to be free on Tuesdays. I'm just afraid they'e ALL going to come up short for me after that experience. We went to the Denver Aquarium and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't that impressed..... until I remembered Shedd.

I love the bicycle photo. My husband is a bicycle fanatic so I have become bicycle oriented.

My daughter is a big fan of this bike as well. We plan on getting her one for her birthday in September. She loves the old style of it and the basket up front. She's an old spirit in a young womans body.

Thanks for the comment on the pics. I do get lucky now and again. I will tell you that for every decent photo there are several bad ones. Nature of the beast I guess. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

kylie71 · 06-17-2012, 08:47 AM

Love the pics Mike! The aquarium shots are hard to get, your's are very clear.. The one in Monterey is very nice, but the best one I have been to is the Maui Ocean Center, on Maui. It's so Awesome!!

Love the bicycle pic too...
