We live not all that far from the Mystic Aquarium and over the course of our three decades in Southeastern Connecticut have visited on more than one occasion. I tell myself the visits are educational (and they are) but they're really entertaining as well (which is why I mostly go).
I don't spend a lot of time in their gift shop and am hesitant to ever visit their cafeteria lest I discover they have a fish filet sandwich on the menu adding a whole new meaning to Finding Nemo, but I'm a huge fan of the exhibits with the seals, the beluga whales, the orcas. and the dolphins though I do have a gnawing sense of guilt at how we hold these creatures in captivity ('but it's so humane,' we say to one another).
That might be why this caught my eye, and a little bit of my heart, too. Faster than lightning.
