This past weekend my husband, my 2 year old son and I took advantage of a rare rainy June morning and visited one of our favourite spots in the city ... the Vancouver Aquarium! The aquarium is one of the few places in town that we buy an annual pass for because my 2 year old son loves it so much and we visit regularly! This visit was particularly special because we were there to visit the aquarium's newest addition ... the baby beluga! It was kind of neat to see 3 generations of a beluga whale family together. As a bonus, while we there we had the good fortune to wander by the dolphin tank while they were doing some training and we enjoyed a private dolphin show! As usual, the Amazon Gallery was a big hit as we visited our duck friends and looked for the elusive sloth! No luck ... we couldn't find her. We'll come back again and I'm sure we'll find her next time! Rain or shine ... the Vancouver Aquarium is worth a visit.
