Portland Aquarium

Portland has a new aquarium!  Tyler and Tiffany gave us a year pass for Christmas.  With the kids off from school and Mark off from work, we just had to go.  It was a lot smaller than expected but still really fun.  It will be even better once the Otter and Puffin exhibits are finished.  The favorite part was the Sting Ray and Shark "petting" pool.  We spent most of our time there.







I'm really kicking myself for not getting a photo of Mark's bloody mole.  A parrot apparently tried to bite it off.  Unfortunately I didn't get to witness it as I DO NOT like birds and sat that exhibit out.  Mark later finds me with tissue on his neck and blood dripping down.  Stupid birds...moles are NOT food!

What's with the fear of birds? And, that's not how the phrase goes..."FISH are friends, not food!" There's nothing implied about moles and birds. We'll have to check that place out sometime. Maybe you can come with me to the bird exhibit! ;)

Ew. Poor Mark!!

How cool that Portland has an aquarium now!!!! I would love that. Sea life is my favorite. What a fun little trip! (except for Mark!)

Great pictures! I strongly dislike birds! It started when I was a nanny for a family with a pet bird that flew at me repeatedly and tried to land on my head a few times. Never cared for them since then. Sorry about Mark's mole.
