Aquarium du Quebec

We went to the Aquarium du Quebec on Thursday. It's in Quebec city, which is a bit of a jaunt with a baby, but it was worth it.

You may be wondering why Montreal doesn't have it's own aquarium. It's a sad story that you'd probably rather not hear involving striking workers, dead dolphins and roadside attractions. So, the drive to the whale-less, dolphin-less, as-far-as-we-know-scandal-free aquarium seemed OK.

H, blissfully unaware of potential ethical issues raised by her entertainment, loved the aquarium. And in particular, turtles. She kept grabbing at the glass, convinced that she might get one (and presumably, eat it.)

The turtle pictures didn't turn out, and for some reason I chose not to document her laughter at the walruses flopping in and out of the water. But she did enjoy the river fish.


And the car ride had an added benefit - two naps over an hour!
