Penguin Play

On our second full day in Florida, we hopped into Grandma and Grandpa J`s van and trekked two hours to Tampa Florida. Our first designation was the Florida Aquarium. Throughout the day we explored the various habitats, galleries and exhibits and learned about aquatic plants and animals from around the world. My favourite area was Ocean Commotion – gotta love watching the sharks – closely followed by the colourful and exotic fish of the coral reef.

For Jessica and I, the highlight of the day was a back-stage, hands-on, up-close-and-personal adventure with the penguins. It was so much fun!! Did you know that most penguins live in warm climates? These gentle creatures, with their own unique personalities, wowed us with their playful nature. Rocky loved playing with a toothbrush and Cliff was partial to a little pat on the head. I was delighted to share this unique experience with Jessica.
