Shopping and the Vancouver Aquarium

Our Saturday mission: Find clothes for the red carpet event. We succeeded and as a reward we went to the Vancouver Aquarium. But first things first.

So we went to Metrotown on Saturday and we both didn’t know what to get (but you already knew that). Surprise, Surprise, Kris talked me in to buying a cocktail dress. So I’ve bought a black cocktail dress. Perfect match with my new shoes.

Kris decided to wear a black suit, and he bought himself a nice looking shirt, tie and belt.

Pictures will follow on Friday (because then we have to go to the event).

So after too many hours of shopping we decided we’d reward ourselves with a visit to the Vancouver Aquarium.

We’ve been there before, on the 7th of June. But we missed the birth of the baby Beluga by 3 days. So since she is still little now, I really wanted to see her.

And of course we also visited the otters. The otters in the aquarium are famous for holding hands. We haven’t seen them doing that, but we saw them cuddling.

Here are two movies, one of the two cuddling otters, and one of an otter busy scratching:)

I tried to take a picture of the jellyfish but it’s blurry. I didn’t have my Gorilla Pod with me but I still like it though. I know a real photographer wouldn’t post something like that. Good thing that I’m not a real one .

I also have a picture of a seagull. We saw it a few weeks ago when we were walking to Stanley Park. But since Kris was waiting for his pc to arrive, it has taken him a while to go through his pictures. So more pictures of Kris will follow, but here is one to get you started. It’s a seagull with a starfish in his mouth.

We don’t know yet, what we will be doing tomorrow, but if we decide to do something interesting we’ll certainly let you know.
