Valentine's Day at the Aquarium

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We have heard all sorts of great things about the aquarium here on Okinawa and decided to take the long trip up to the north part of the island and check it out. This aquarium was once the largest in the world, but a new one in Atlanta was built a few years ago and now holds that title.
The aquarium is in an area called Ocean Expo Park. We didn't have a chance to see the whole park, but in the middle of it all were some awesome sculptures made out of flowers, they were beautiful!
When we walked inside, there was a large tank with so many different types of fish.

This picture almost looks fake!
Here are the largest lobsters I have ever seen in my life!
Me with some hot pink fish!

Here is John and a new friend!
After walking around a bit we rounded a corner and saw the first parts of one of the world's largest fish tanks! I had heard about this tank and I thought the first one we saw was it, luckily, I was wrong! I was so incredibly amazed at the size of this tank; it holds 1,981,290 gallons of water and has the second largest acrylic glass panel.

I took a video to help you understand the magnitude!

On the side of this tank you can walk into an area where the water goes above your head.
It was a really rainy day, so we didn't get to see the dolphin show because it is performed outside.

We walked around a bit more and heard music and clapping so we decided to see what all of the commotion was about. There were a few little girls dressed up and performing little dances. It was so cute! Here is a video of one of the dances.

This little girl was soooo good! She was probably 5 or 6 and so dramatic and was so precise in her movements.
As I said before it was raining outside, yet people still thought is was so great and fun to run through the mist machine. By that time my hair was enormous, so it was time to head home! This weekend is a 4-day weekend for John and Tuesday we are supposed to go to the park where there are tons of zip-lines! Hopefully it won't rain and we will still be able to go! Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!
