On Columbus Day, we loaded up in the car and took the scenic route to Ocean Expo Park and Aquarium. It was an hour and a half drive, but the view on the way did NOT disappoint.
We stopped at a famous place called Sky Pizza on the way there. Sky Pizza is a restaurant situated on a cliff, way off the beaten path. The wait was an HOUR, but the view was nice and once we were seated and served, the food was DELICIOUS. Lily LOVES pizza, so, this was an extra treat for her.

odd looking pizza, but it was delicious, the cheese here in Japan is European quality. DELICIOUS. |

By the time we reached the aquarium it was an hour and a half passed Lily's nap time. She, of course, is a little trooper and stayed awake just long enough to see the biggest exhibits, then passed out in the carrier on my back. To be honest, it was kind of nice to just walk around quietly with Jeff after she fell asleep. The aquarium is so tranquil and relaxing.

Okinawa Aquarium is the second largest aquarium in the world! featuring TWO whale sharks. I believe, they are the largest marine animals in captivity. |

It was AMAZING. The tanks were UNREAL. |

Lily Grace is STILL happy and soaking up SO much knowledge and culture at an almost alarming speed. We will continue to expose her to as much of the island and culture here as we can.
