Kokee Museum (Day 2 on Kauai)
For such a small place, this was a very impactful museum! I'll let the pictures do the talking...

La's Birthday Fun
I took off work for La's Birthday and we had a blast!!! First part was spent up on the North Shore having breakfast (La's favorite meal of the day) at one of her favorite breakfast spots - Cafe Haleiwa. After that we were going to go snorkeling at Shark's Cove, but there was a swell in and the water was a bit too rough - so we visited the turtle basking spot at Laniakea Beach. 
The second part of the day was spent over in the Kailua area running an errand and grabbing some real malasadas
Right across from the Portuguese Bakery was a knitting-crochet-Christmas store. And they had a cool coconut pirate. This place was pretty cool (and not just because they had coconut pirates).
The Birthday itself may have ended shortly after this, but the Birthday Weekend continues in the next posts!!!

National Aquarium - Sharks, Turtles and an Old Whale
I took this past Tuesday off from work to help chaperone Marlon's field trip to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. They are advertising a new exhibit - the "Black Tip Reef" but it didn't seem that different since I had last seen this place several years ago. 
In fact, the whole aquarium seemed smaller to me - which is impossible, but maybe familiarity has gotten the best of me.
That said, the whole experience was still enjoyable.
The whale skeleton was still hanging from the ceiling. It's a neat exhibit - but it feels kind of out of place in this spot. Especially since the whole area has a dark atmosphere to it (lower lights equals less stress to the fish). This display did offer a different view than you can get of the whale skeletons at the Natural History Museum in DC.
Marlon worked hard to try and get a picture of their green sea turtle that seemed to be missing a front left arm. This guy was pretty big as far as sea turtles go.
