Today we went to the aquarium. It was part of that adventure package I mentioned earlier. The aquarium was actually bigger and more elaborate then I thought it’d be. They had it all setup to take some great photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the aquarium we did a nighttime adventure to see Sherlock Holmes’s Address. There’s a bit of a story around that but I’ll save that for its section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said they had the biggest coral reef tank in England (or something like that). It was pretty spectacular to see in person. Everything looked quite healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K was going to take a ride in a “hurricane” but it cost money. Did I mention that we’re frugal \ud83d\ude42 Funny that it says “hurricane” but it shows a picture of a tornado. Confusing kids for money $$$ (far too common nowadays)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherlock Holmes Address<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so the story around Sherlock Holmes address is that the address doesn’t actually exist. But, the Sherlock Holmes Museum is given the right to list this fictional address on its door. It doesn’t really make much sense because the address (221B Baker Street) is actually listed out of order on the block. We eventually found it though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
