The Woods Hole Aquarium

A few days ago, we packed up the boys, gathered a few friends and took the ferry to Woods Hole. 
Just a few short blocks away is the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, 
http://aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov/
It was a nice day, for late December anyway, so the walk was nice. 
I hadn't been there in years, but I knew the boys would love it! It's small, but has plenty to look at. There is an outdoor seal tank, 
which is a great way to distract some kids in case you get there before they're open, 
a bunch of local sea life, and even a touch tank 
where you can explore sea creatures you may not see everyday. 
We got to explore sea anemones, sea urchins, hermit crabs, a flounder, a few conks, star fish, and all different kinds of sea shells. 










I had so much fun, and I know they did too! I can't wait to go back in the spring!
