My Whale and Shark Encounters

One beautiful morning over spring break we went to the Mystic Aquarium. Our first stop was to see the beluga whales. The youngest beluga took an interest in the kids at the viewing window, and instead of just swimming by he seemed to tread water at the window and check out the kids. I can't quite describe how cool it was to see this huge whale floating just on the other side of the glass. He stayed there for a long time and a crowd quickly gathered to see him float and interact with the kids.
Once the whale swam away we went to the touch pool and hung out with the sting rays, then went inside to check out the new shark touch pool. The kids decided this was their new favorite exhibit at the aquarium, and I see us going there a lot in the near future!
