This year's birthday event

This year's birthday event was at Sea Life at the Mall Of America.

We got 4+ inches of snow overnight. The temperature is not too bad in the mid teens. So this Year's birthday gathering at the Sea Life aquarium where it turns out you can snorkel with in the tropical fish tank, was a fantastic idea.

I got twelve friends to snorkel and another eight to observe. Everyone got to be part of the behind the scenes tour of the aquarium. We had great guides. The entire thing was such a wonder-filled experience.

We spent Monday evening going to Global Market, the Mall of America, Sea Life at MOA, and finally at Szechuan Spice for a late dinner.
