One of the places we really enjoyed in Washington was the aquarium, even though it's a dingy old place stuck in a basement and much in need of sprucing up. That didn't bother us, we loved the displays! Here are a few critters we saw.

A wonderfully curious balloonfish.

A strange axolotyl with foot-like appendages.

A bold spiny lobster.

A scary snapping turtle.

A cheerful ray.

A magnificent lion fish.
