Sharks!

September 27th, 2011 by brendan

On Sunday, Page and I visited Poppy in San Francisco and went to the Aquarium to see some real sharks.

I think the girls are still a bit young for science. They still had fun. Especially playing on the moving walkways, with exit signs and speakers to grab, and cages to climb on. Page especially liked the touch pools. The Bat Rays in the touch pools were unlike anything I’d seen before. Except trained dolphins. They were very much like trained dolphins. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a good picture of them playing to the crowd.

After the Aquarium, we escaped Las Turistas and had lunch at a fancy restaurant on the Embarcadero. Poppy and Page sat next to each other in high chairs and passed food to each other. Poppy would pass pieces of broccoli to Page, and in return, Page would pass sloppy bits of Dungeness Crab Cakes back to her. We tipped well (for Aussies).

Following lunch, it was back to the Tuscan Inn for a bit of playtime.

I hope we get to see more of Poppy. The weekend was brilliant for Page. She had someone her own age to play with and to look up to. Both girls definitely learned off each other, and played together so well.
