Mystic Aquarium
Known for its Beluga Whales, Mystic Aquarium isn’t too far from our home, and it has always been a favorite destination. When my boys were tiny, I used to sing them a song called Baby Beluga (by Raffi). I am sure I was singing it on this day as well (maybe only to myself if they were too embarrassed).
More on this exciting adventure tomorrow. Actually, for the first time ever, we’ve divided this journal entry into three unique entries. We met up with friends and my mom to make this a full, exciting day. Come back tomorrow for more!
