Sleeping with the Sharks

We went to a family night at Ripley's Aquarium a couple nights ago. We had the best time ever. We went on a scavenger hunt around the aquarium and saw all the exhibits. The girls got to pet the horseshoe crabs and sting rays. We saw some diving shows. They gave us pizza and we danced. There were also fireworks and we had a private balcony to view if we wanted. There were seven families who slept over the night that we did. The shark tunnels were all so twisty and long that each family had their own private section of the tunnel. There was one sawnosed shark that camped over us in the tunnel...it was like he was our guard shark. There was also a giant leatherback sea turtle named "Gabby". We wished we could have stayed in the tunnel for our entire vacation. It was definitely the highlight so far.
