Waltz of the Jelly Fish



It was a dance to see, one that would blow any Dancing With the Stars contestant off the dance floor. Jellyfish. Who would have known? They are the true dancers of the sea. Kaitlyn, Steve and I planned an outing last week to enjoy a trek through the Long Beach Aquarium. While I was mesmerized by these sea creatures, among others like the Weedy Seadragon and Garden Eels, Kaitlyn liked anything that moved. She would lock eyes with many of the brightly colored fish, look intently at the stingrays as if studying their every move and when walking through the Bird Zone she kept her chin up and eyes open to take in all the sounds of their songs and fast paced flights from one perch to the next. By the time we reached that last exhibit she had reached her limits with educational eye candy. It was time for a rest.
