The original plan for the San Diego Zoo was sabotaged due to the rainy weather forecast. So, in its place, the Long Beach Aquarium was our next choice. Ashraf, Michelle, and Steven came along and I enjoyed today, a mellow and fun day.
When we arrived to the aquarium, I felt like I knew this area all too well. Near the aquarium were the boat tours, I went on one of those before. It wasn't for any whale-watching or site-seeing pleasure, it wasn't for fun. In the horizon, the waters behind the aquarium, was where my father's remains were scattered. Our family took that boat to the ocean, far enough so that no swimmers or kayaks could travel, but close enough to still be able to see the aquarium. Every time I find myself in that general area of Long Beach, it all comes back.
