August 31, 2011, Beacon House went to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center
We went through all the exhibits which have been upgraded in recent years. There were many sea animals—manta rays, sea horses, sharks, whales, seals, turtles, snails, alligators, octopus, jelly fish, crabs, sand dollars, and so many different kinds of fish. To give the ambiance of an island, sounds of the ocean and birds were played around the exhibits. One section was surrounded by tanks, and along with the unlevel paths, I felt as though I was drifting underwater. A part of the exhibit was made of glass, with animals swimming above us and around us, like we were actually in the aquarium.
