Sea life and Aqua Dome

Kayden has been asking to go to an Aquarium since we came to Germany.
That boy LOVES aquariums.  Not the best lighting but here we are at the Aquarium. 

I think in all honestly this was the kids favorite part.  They got to touch and hold
some prawns, and touch starfish and sea anemones.  


Loved how they had the aquarium set up.  It was fun to go to each of the
eight sections to see a different kind of fish, shark, etc.

True Happiness is found at the Aquarium.
Any questions??  Look at her smile. 

Kayden loving his fish!!!

The prawns loved kayden.  He was able to hold the most. 

The staff was very friendly and so knowledgeable  They just kept talking with the kids.
They had the coolest camera.  It reminds me of a scope.  you take the tube with a little camera on the
end and you can go right up to the animals in the tank and get up close and personal with them. 

Here is Chandler and the worker talking all about the ocean
and the fun sea life critters. 

Kayden wanted to take them home.  UMMM, NO!

This was one of my favorite parts.  This was the nursery.
The dark egg sacs were baby Sting Ray and the white one are baby sharks.
These baby sacs were moving.  They were going to town.  You can see the baby shark and he
was trying to get out of there.  They were super adorable and I could have watched them all day.

Baby Girl loving the Sea Critters. 

I love how the under belly of a sting ray looks like he is smiling at you.
it was super fun to watch the ray tank as the sting rays swam over your head. 

Can you see the big sharks????

We loved all the sea critters. 

This aquarium is so interactive they had a video game for the kids to play.
And well, they must have known I had three kids because that is exactly how many controllers they had.
PERFECT!

Love the colors of the Ocean. Can you see Dory and Nemo? 

They had a really cool Labyrinth with mirrors and laser lights.
You had to go in and try and find your way out.
So much fun!!!!

The only group picture I got all day.  Boo!!!!
But thank you mirrors for creating such a wonderful picture opportunity. 
This interactive museum does an excellent job of pulling back the iron curtain
and bringing to life life during the cold war in East Germany. We went back in time to how people lived under communism.
They started really young like collective potty training. The little kids went to the bathroom at the same time
and the kids had to stay on their toilet until everyone was finished.   Engineers earned little more than farmers, and everyone, it seems, went on nudist holidays.  They had an apartment inside and it was interesting to see how it was set up.
Women had to work outside the home and come home and do all the house hold chores and cooking.  No thank you!
I loved the interactive museum.  The kids kind of browsed and played with a couple things but were not nearly as fascinated as I was. 

Another fun Buddy Bear.

Since it was our last night in Berlin I asked the kids where they wanted to go to dinner.
They chose Vapiano's an Italian Restaurant.  We enjoyed summing up our vacation as we ate
delicious food and laughed.  What a perfect Spring break.  We missed Jeremy and were sad he coudln't join us.
Maybe next year he can.  Thanks for the Vacation Babe!
