Newport Beach Aquarium

Here we are! Newport is farther away than I remembered... but the 3 hour drive was still worth it. The only thing Dustin really wanted to do on our trip was go to a real aquarium. We went to the one in Utah, and it's just a little lame compared to this one. This one had otters, seals, sharks, lots of varieties of jelly fish, and every other kind of aquatic creature you can think of. We used to go here a lot when I was a kid because Keiko (Free Willy) was here. We ended up staying for almost 3 hours.

Dustin took this picture.

These are world's largest crabs. Their arm span is 13 feet!
They had an "Odd Water" exibit. Lots of interesting fish.
Here's Dustin touching a small shark.

They had lots of tunnels full of fish. Even parts of the floor were glass so you could watch the fish swim over you and under you.

Just a massive 10 foot shark swimming about 5 feet away from my head.
