Okay, so I was going to do one post for each day at the beach, but then I saw that we took 92 pictures on Wednesday and I got a little overwhelmed with the idea of going through all of them this evening! So we'll do Wednesday in two parts.
The reason we took so many pictures on Wednesday is that part of our group went to the Virginia Aquarium that day, which provided many great photo ops.
Here are the people who went, plus Tim behind the camera:
That was taken on a boardwalk through a marshy area behind the aquarium. We also saw this on that walk:
Inside the Bay and Ocean Pavilion (The larger of the aquarium's two buildings), our first look at some fish and turtles:
Experiencing the "touch tank":
Jellies:
Lionfish:
Audrey and Justin get eaten:
Highlight of the Bay and Ocean Pavilion: Sharks!
Next to the shark tank was the inside of a submarine. It was really hard to pull Justin away from the flashing lights and video screens.
He was also quite fascinated with this model of the inside of a shark.
Here he is not quite looking at a caiman. This thing stayed completely motionless under the water for an unbelievable amount of time. It really didn't look real.

Audrey and Justin look remarkably calm for children being eaten by sharks!
I am enjoying your travelogue and thinking that this would be a great place to visit. The Virginia Beach Chamber of Commerce thanks you! -- Cousin Ann
