This weekend we took Ellie to visit the Stearns Wharf Aquarium in Santa Barbara. We saw little sharks that we were able to touch, fish, local to our oceans, and a really neat little jellyfish exhibit. The aquarium was pretty small but it was geared toward younger littles which we liked. Ellie seemed a little taken aback by the fish and being so close to them, but by the end of the day she was comfortable enough to climb through some of the exhibits (they had aquarium tunnels)!  We will definitely be back to visit again.

I’ve also been steadily filling my days with bits of reading, moving, writing and meditation (for my Soulful September).It’s been difficult actually; a lot more so than I thought it would. I will give a full update sometime this week. If you are joining in a 30 day challenge, how are you doing?
