Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

I’ve been getting backed up! Is it possible to have too many fun things going on to keep up with? Yes, it is. Our life’s circumstances have turned me into a homebody because it was always easier and better for our kids to stay home away from germs. That is no longer the case but I still tend to prefer just hanging out at home. Rich is the extreme opposite of a homebody. He HAS to be out exploring, experiencing and having a good time. I love doing those things as well but it takes some coaxing to get me on board with his go, go, go personality.

 

We’ve had a busy and fun few weeks starting with our visit to the famous Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was our first time driving up to the north part of the island and it was beautiful. Of course, pictures don’t do it justice.

Once there they took our picture. Can’t believe everybody was smiling. Threats worked, haha!

One of Arabella’s favorite things was the hot pink fish. Can you see them?

But, her absolute favorite thing was the unicorn fish. She will tell you that her favorite animal is a unicorn…so cute!

I, personally, liked this goofy guy.

Churaumi Aquarium has the 3rd largest tank in the world. It was HUGE! There were several big stingrays and 3 massive whale sharks.

We went and visited the turtles. They were so cute!

As you walk out of the front of the aquarium you have a direct and gorgeous view of the ocean. Love this picture of Rich and Eva!

This one makes me laugh. Arabella was trying so hard to keep her eyes open.

What a fun experience we had.
