Morning Rounds at the Aquarium

Last Thursday we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We got up at 4:30 a.m., so we could get there for morning rounds at 8:15 a.m. Morning rounds is an extra tour that takes you behind the scenes. This was a special treat for me for my birthday. We really enjoyed this tour, especially feeding some of the fish and bat rays. We also got to help prepare the penguin's food.
