Lifestyle | Long Beach

Yes, we were there again.  The Aquarium of the Pacific.  We have an annual pass to the aquarium and this is already the fifth time going there.  Today is a long weekend holiday and looked like every family with the annual pass was there, too.  LOL~  We had to park at a different structure since our normal nearby one was already full. That lead us to this walk bridge across the street with a view of the downtown Long Beach.  Being a photographer mom, I have to make every outings into a mini photo shoot session, especially at a new location.  Megan was anxious and excited to get to the aquarium to see our fish friends.

After the short visit to the Aquarium, Megan's stomach was growling earlier then usual today.  Islands is one of our favorite burger place to go, and it was just conveniently located in our walk back to the parking structure.  We enjoyed sitting down and being waited for a change.  We ordered their chili burger and splited.  It was perfect portion for the two of us with little extra helping of fries from the nice waiter guy.  And of course, Megan got her favorite drink "Cool Breeze" - coconut, strawberry and banana smoothie with whip cream and cherry on top.  We shared that, too.  I wish my teenager had come with us...    

  

And Megan played the guilt trip on me for making her cry earlier (yes, too many pictures again).  She asked to stop at the candy store that we passed by.  Oh well, still a cheap date.  And more pictures for me.  LOL~

Really, do they make gummy candy in every shape and size and animals?  This one is a gummy frog.  Megan got whole ray of animals to chew on for the ride back home.  Mmmmmm~  What will it taste like?
