Vacation Pics

The Moody Gardens Aquarium is a cool place to visit, almost like scuba diving without getting wet. Except for all the screaming rug rats running around, that is. These are a few pics from my formerly cutting-edge but not yet obsolete pocket-sized 2mp Sony, mostly without flash to save my fading batteries.

Lionfish


Eel


Shark


King Penguins




Quote of the trip, courtesy of my wife: The kids were fighting and being difficult, as kids occasionally do. As we were headed to the ultra-fake mechanical dinosaur exhibit, we passed a fake high voltage line, presumedly intended to keep the fake dinosaurs inside the exhibit, ala Jurassic park. Nice touch, really.



"Would it kill me if I touched it?" my daughter asked.

"Why don't you touch it and find out?" smirked the wife.

I had to get a picture after that. And then the batteries died.
