Dolphins, Sharks, and Fish Galore!

We took Memorial Day weekend pretty easy. The only big adventure we had was heading up to Nago to check out the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. This aquarium is the second largest aquarium in the world, after the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The main tank holds almost 2 million gallons of water and is home to whale sharks, manta rays, and lots of crazy looking fish! We also got to see the dolphin show which had a really interesting J-pop soundtrack!




Flying dolphins!

Luckily, we bought a season pass to the Aquarium so that we can visit as often as we want and take our visiting guests (hint hint)!
