Sunday was a beautiful day to head to the Maritime Aquarium, grab some treats and go watch the seals swim. The aroma of chocolate fanned it's way through the aquarium as droves of people gathered to sample from loads of vendors offering baked goods, specialty foods, gelato, cheese, wines and more.
My kids had a great time exploring the aquarium. They checked out all the fish & lizards and they even got to pet some stingrays and small sharks. There was something for everyone at the Maritime Aquarium.
We were invited to check out the event and here are some pictures from the day, and a few of the vendors that were there. If you need a gift for anyone on Valentines, here are a few great gift ideas and ways to support local small businesses.
