That sounds just fantastic. Unfortunately, the only time I was at the Shedd it was absolutely jam-packed with schoolkids and it was completely chaotic. But I loved what I was able to see -- especially the penguins.
It really was! Oh, yeah, we went on a weekend, so while it was packed, at least not with schoolkids. The penguins were awesome - I completely forgot to say that they were being fed while we were at the exhibit for them and they were swarming the feeder - it was hysterical.
If you ever come to the Bay Area (and you should), I will take you to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I could spend all day just watching the sea otters.
Oh man, I wish. I have a lot of travel 'wants' and I know given my energy levels that the overseas ones would probably be way too much, but the other side of the country might be doable someday. I have a list of CA places I want to go.
There is a baby otter (5 weeks old) at the Shedd right now, but unfortunately not old enough for the public yet.
