Long Beach Aquarium

Oh, how I LOVE Fall Break! 

Being a teacher sure does have its perks! During the week of October 10th I was given a week off for Fall Break. Joe decided we would go over to California and stay with his parents (I have great in-laws) for a few days as a way to enjoy my time off. 

Joe was leaving me for 10 days to go on a business trip... so I think this was his way of buttering me up for his time away... it worked!!!

During our time in California we had so much fun! I always enjoy my time with Momma and Papa S :) 

Joe decided we would spend one day at the  

Long Beach Aquarium. 

It was such a beautiful day out... perfect for some time by the water!

Joe and I made sure that we made time to go to the Otter and Sea Lion shows! They have to be two of my favorite sea animals.

He is so CUTE!! I love my husband....

I had just gotten a new camera before we left on this trip, so I made sure to take as many pictures as I could.

I think the BEST part of the day was our time spent with the turtle. It was funny to watch Joe follow this turtle around... he wanted to be sure he got the perfect shot. 

Spending time with Joe is one of my favorite things to do. It is so much more exciting to experience something new when you are doing it with someone you love.

What a wonderful day at the aquarium. Can't wait to someday take our kiddos there :)
