Our vacation- {Part 3}

After we were done at the beach, we drove back to the hotel to change. Then we headed back to Atlantic City and went to the Atlantic City Aquarium. On the way to the beach earlier, I noticed a sign for the aquarium so I checked out their site and found that it was only $8 per person! That was definitely a good deal so we figured we’d check it out. On our way out of the hotel we picked up some brochures and one of them had an ad for the aquarium along with a coupon for $1 off admission that could be used up to 4 times. So, here we were, on vacation and I was still using coupons!!! :)

As you can tell, the aquarium wasn’t that big. It was a cute little one though! I love aquariums so we just had to check it out! 

My favorite animal…
 

I found Nemo!!!

I also found Dory!!!





This is a cow-nosed ray. I don’t know why it’s called that though, it definitely doesn’t look like a cow at all.
 





The sting rays in this touch pool were very friendly. It was like they wanted to jump out of the pool!!


The 3rd floor of the aquarium was just an observatory deck. There was a nice view of the ocean so I took some pics.

After the aquarium, we headed over to a lighthouse that was 3 minutes away. The Absecon lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey and the 3rd largest lighthouse in the country. This was the first lighthouse that my fiancé has climbed and I think it was my 3rd. I know I climbed Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks, but I don’t know if I climbed another one before or not. My grandparents love lighthouses so I knew that they would love hearing about this part of our trip!

228 steps later, we made it to the top!!
 

It’s always an awesome view from the top of a lighthouse!!
 


I can see my car from all the way up here!!! (It’s the silver one)



Fishing boat with a huge net!






What goes up, must go down!

Before we left to go to the aquarium and lighthouse, it was raining a little bit so we hoped it would stop by the time we got back so we could go swimming. Luckily, it did!!
 
Look, I’m taller than 5 ft!!! Haha, I wish!!

Believe it or not, that was not all we did on Friday. We headed back to the boardwalk…but you’ll have to come back tomorrow to find out what we did!! Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!
