It's a Zoo Out There

Last weekend we had BEAUTIFUL weather here in Middle Tennessee.  B-E-A-UTIFUL!   Andrew and I decided to take a little day trip to Chattanooga to visit the aquarium.  Although I had already been several times, Andrew had never seen it, so it sounded like something fun to do together.

Here are my favorite things at the aquarium, in no particular order:

The big blue birds (macaws?) that always seem to be screaming at each other.

 The butterflies.  Specifically the ones that are black with the pink, yellow, and white on their wings.
The penguins.  They are so unbelievably adorable.  But the aquarium penguins did not have sweaters on.

The otters.  Unfortunately, they were asleep when we went, so Andrew did not get to watch them play!
The seahorses.  They have to be some of the coolest creatures... ever.

Since the actual aquarium otters were sleeping at the time of our visit, here is a precious little stand- in.

Of course, it goes without saying that my very favorite part of the aquarium was spending the day with Andrew, who also happened to be the cutest thing I saw there... even cuter than the penguins.
