A couple of Fridays ago Adam was here by himself – Charlie’s group at camp was going to the zoo, so he certainly didn’t want to miss that – so we got Little Hope to go with us, & headed up to Fintastic, a great fish store up at Ayrsley in Charlotte. My friend Jennifer Addie has recommended it to me really a few years ago, thinking that the kids might like it – and she was so right. I think I read that they have 18,000 fish in the store, plus all the cool aquarium set ups, etc. What a fun way to spend an afternoon.
They had some amazing specimens of sea creatures there. This black sea urchin – I think that’s what it was – was wild, as were the lion fish, cow fish, assorted kinds of eels, sharks – pretty amazing afternoon.
