When our friends Emily and Cory came to visit from San Francisco/Seattle a few weeks ago, we finally made the trip to the Atlanta aquarium that I had been waiting for forever. It's the biggest aquarium in the world, with whale sharks and beluga whales and manta rays and all sorts of other amazing sea creatures, and Aunt Lizza and I had both been dying to go since it opened a few years ago. I wasn't sure if Lily was quite old enough to appreciate it, but I figured we would try it out and see, and I was very excited when she went absolutely nutso over all the fish. She had her face and hands glued to every single display (I gave up on the sanitizer after the first few), and kept shouting out "Mommy, Nemo and Dory!" and "Mommy, shark!" and "Oooh, big one!" and "Hello, Whale!" It was so great to see her reaction to all the animals (she was doing exactly what the rest of us wanted to do even though we were grown-ups and had to wait our turn), and she conveniently started to wear out just as we were running out of things to see.
