NY Aquarium

I finally did it!!! A life long resident of NYC and I finally made it to the NY Aquarium. Friends of mine decided that it might be a cool thing to do especially since it was a going to be a nice day Saturday... so we did it. It was so much fun. The first thing we did was go to Nathan's and have hot dogs. YOU CANNOT GO TO CONEY ISLAND AND NOT HAVE NATHAN'S HOT DOGS!!! So we ate the dogs and once sated, headed to the aquarium. Amazing experience--especially if you are an enthusiast fish breeder like I am. So I would go from exhibition to exhibition with my friends William, Herbert and Keith. And I have to tell you that I was like a child in a toy store. I wanted to study it all and take it all in. Honestly, I could have spent hours there but William is the only one that is into fish as much as me so we had to move on kicking and screaming. That said there were some seriously awesome exhibitions. I think that the Jellyfish tanks were the most eerie and gave you the sense that you were part of another universe. The Shark tank is scary given that you can see the sharks so up close. The vibrant colors of the fish in the larger community tanks was breathtaking and just seeing these creatures up close just made it all so worth it. Of course after we were done, William wanted to eat a fried twinkie (huh???) and thank goodness we could not find one. Herbert was craving funnel cake (if you didn't know better you would think he was pregers but then again could he be?) so we found them and he ate it ALL! We went to Popeye's and ate some of the most greasiest chicken and fries in the entire city... I was delicious but sickening LOL. Finally we hit the candy store and stuffed ourselves with candied apples and cotton candy... It just brought out the child in all of us and we had so much fun. So if you are ever in NYC and you want to do something different that the entire family can enjoy, then go to the NY Aquarium (its in Coney Island and the N, D, B, and Q trains all go there. Kids love it and so do the adults.
