Vancouver Aquarium

While in Vancouver we decided to take a day to spend at the aquarium.  It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day in Vancouver, and BC day to boot so the aquarium was packed, but still had a great time even with the crowds.   Who knew that BC Day, which is the first Monday in August was such a big holiday.  In Ontario it is called the Civic holiday and it is not a statutory holiday at all, so in general it is business as usual, but not so in BC it is one of the biggest holidays of the year!


The Beluga whales were so much fun to watch swimming and playing.  There were 4 of them together which was a nice treat you often only see one or two together at a time in a tank.




Waving at the people in the underground observation area.
