101 - #29 - Go to the Seattle Aquarium for Octopus Week

[dirtylibrarian]

Today I finally made it to Octopus Week at the Seattle Aquarium.  I've been wanting to go to this for years, and while it wasn't mind-blowing, it was fun.  Like the hundreds of children there celebrating their day off from school, I went with my mom.  We went to the aquarium a few years ago together, so it wasn't all that new for either of us, but we still had a good time. 

They do have a gigantic new tank near the entrance we hadn't seen, and some divers brought in an octopus to show off to everyone.  Apparently they generally aren't left with other fish much, as they tend to eat them...including: sharks! 

Overall, not too much above and beyond for adults, but being around a bazillion other octopus fans made for a lovely afternoon.  Until I got claustrophobic and had to get the hell out of there.  Happily, my mom then took me out to a nice lunch, and then I made her buy me huckleberry ice cream, because I am seven when I am around my mom apparently.
