The NC Aquarium

On Wednesday of our vacation, we were off to Roanoke Island to visit the North Carolina Aquarium.
Our munchkins outside the entrance to the aquarium.
Our munchkins standing behind the jaws of a very large shark!  Yikes!
No worries, the crocodile is not real!
 We also enjoyed seeing sea horses, crabs, turtles, an octopus, and sting rays.  Jon and I touched the rays, but the munchkins were a little too scared to even try, maybe next time. 
As we wandered around the aquarium, we came to a huge room with a glass wall and viewed some real live sharks swimming in a big tank.  I wasn't able to get a great picture of them since it was so dark and they were swimming a little bit too fast...  It was really cool to see the sharks up close, though!
Once we had our fill of seeing all the sea animals, we walked outside to get a few more pictures.





It was a really beautiful place to visit.
We had a great time and enjoyed our visit to the North Carolina Aquarium.
