just keep swimming, just keep swimming

last saturday was our 9 month wedding anniversary...it is ok to acknowledge less-than-one-year anniversary marks, right? i thought so.

last saturday also happen to be the day we decided to go to the aquarium here in houston. we have talked about going pretty much since we moved, whenever we would drive by. the aquarium is surrounded by huge tall buildings and major interstates, but it is a fun little adventure tucked away in downtown.
we got to pet rays and see so many different kinds of fish, some crazy-big turtles, even bigger catfish, sharks, and white tigers. yes, tigers. at the aquarium. they are a special exhibit i think. we wanted some really good pictures of the tigers because they are such beautiful creatures, especially up so close, so lee decided to try to grab the attention of one of the tigers. who knew that a white tiger would be particularly attracted to a guy tapping on the glass?! needless to say, the tiger was so aroused that it jumped at the glass at lee! i wish i'd had my camera ready because it was the most bizarre thing that has ever happened to us. at an aquarium.it may seem hard to find something to follow up such the shock of a tiger jumping at you, but we decided we would try by hopping on the train to ride through the shark exhibit. the sharks were awesome even if the only thing separating us and them was the (probably) thin layer of glass with gallons & gallons of water pressure against it above our heads. we did get some cool shots & had a great time. too bad it was too hot to take a ferris wheel ride...
