The kids and I visited our local Marine Science Center recently and had a fantastic experience.  We asked for guidance, and were given our own private tour (by none other than an extremely learned and impressive fifteen (going on twenty-five) year old homeschooler who volunteers there because she’s so interested in marine biology).  It’s fascinating how much goes on in sea life: Even those creatures that look like they’re just plants doing nothing are actually doing SO much.  We are excited to go back… and we hope to get to the Seattle Aquarium here in the next couple weeks, too.
