Field Trip the New England Aquarium    http://www.neaq.org

On Wednesday we visited the New England Aquarium in Boston. Once we arrived, we began looking at all the exhibits and tanks throughout the Aquarium. I saw tanks simulating tropical reefs, mangrove swamps, the ocean floor, and local habitats. WE also witnessed fur seal and sea lion training as well as a feeding in the large tank. Being able to see all of the amazing and wonderful creatures swimming around was nice, but nothing compared to being able to touch and basically pet sharks and rays in the touch tank.
 
Having rays glide right underneath your hand is an amazing feeling, and to be able to gently touch a 3 foot shark was probably the highlight of my week.
