The aquarium facilities really are outstanding, and it is hard to decide where to go first. There were many highlights. One of the most notable was walking through the 100ft long acrylic tunnel, and being surrounded by some of the world's biggest fish. The experience was a thrill, as we watched schools of sting rays swim above us, and viewed the largest fish in the world -the "whale shark", and the giant grouper (below), just to name a few.
The children enjoyed having the opportunity to touch with their own hands bullnose rays, starfish, and shrimp. Much of these animals had been covered in Grace's reading material (Pagoo), and it was a wonderful supplement for all of us to see many of these creatures and plants first hand. Grace and I found ourselves enamoured with the jellyfish, anemones, the octopus, and the beluga whales. The aquarium had at least five belugas in a giant tank. Grace was insistent that I try and catch all five on the camera:
Other highlights included the sea otter tank, and the penguins. The most unexpected treat was a 3D Movie with "Deepo" the GA Aquarium Mascot. It was a hoot to watch Grace try and grab the objects that appeared before her eyes. We all received a few unexpected water showers from above and other surprises from underneath our chairs during the movie.
Here's me and the kids at the front end of exhaustion, just before leaving the aquarium:

Current USAs SunPaq Compact Fluorescent Retrofit kits have patented end cap locks to secure the bulb to the fixture and also help lock out moisture. These retrofit kits include a remote ballast and a parabolic reflector for each compact fluorescent lamp.
