Ripley's Aquarium

Another favorite place we have visited with the kids the past two years when vacationing in Myrtle Beach is Ripley's Aquarium. What an amazing experience. While there, we had the opportunity to pet a stingray at the Ray Bay exhibit, pick up a horseshoe crab at the Interactive Discovery Center and travel on a moving glidepath through a tank full of giant sharks surrounding us on all sides. Cassidy was so intrigued by the Sharks this year that she picked out her own "Giant" (36 inches to be exact) stuffed one to bring home as a souvenir. That thing is seriously almost as big as she is...and boy does she ever love it. It's her new snuggle buddy and I don't think it has really left her side since she brought it home from the aquarium gift shop.
