Dallas Aquarium

We made a trip to Texas to see family and friends and, of course, Texas!  On our last visit, we discovered the Dallas World Aquarium, and just had to return.  They have a wider range of animals than most aquariums, but a more aquatic focus than most zoos.  The aquarium is right downtown, which seems a surprising location.  Spending an afternoon looking at animals is just what Jasper loves.
