South Carolina Aquarium












I tried but couldn't get any good animal pics. There were lots interactive learning things for the kid's. Personally I had high expectations and was a little let down. No big shark tanks or dolphins or huge turtles. Still, it was very neat of coarse.

On the way back home from the Aquarium, we noticed our battery light was on. We stopped at Pep Boyz to get it checked out. They were going to charge us just to check our battery. And we thought "no way, when auto zone would do it for free." Unfortunately, and at the same time very very fortunately, our car had died right there in their parking lot. 3 hours and $400 later, we left with 3 exhausted kiddos and a new alternator. It was a long day.

Love the pictures! Like Jennie, I like the frog on the bench. The kids looked like they were having lots of fun. Bummer about the car but like you said lucky that it happened there and not on the freeway with the kids.
Can't wait to see you all. I bet that you are all glad to be home for a couple of weeks though!
