Anniversary weekend - Saturday

For our first anniversary we decided to head over to Long Beach. Neither one of us had been there before, so we packed our bags and off we went. Our first stop after checking in was the Aquarium of the Pacific.

We stayed at the Hyatt. It was very nice, and conveniently located within walking distance to lots of sights.

This was the view straight out from our room.

And this was the view just to the right.

There were lots of different kinds of jelly fish at the aquarium. These are ghost jelly fish, I think.

Look at all the Nemo's and Dori's!

Leafy Sea Dragon

Extra Leafy Sea Dragon! I think it's actually named something else, I just can't remember =)

After the aquarium we stopped across the street for lunch at one of our favorite places to eat, Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. Yum!

After having lunch we went back to the room to rest a little. There was a boardwalk type of shopping center across the street and also a lighthouse that we walked around. It was so pretty. We found out that Long Beach is a popular wedding spot, I think we counted at least 8 weddings on Saturday and 1 or 2 on Sunday. Needless to say I was pooped by the night's end, and my feet were killing me. We must have walked at least 10 miles.
