Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

You can file this one under places to take the kids in southern California without spending much money. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is less flashy and much, much, smaller than it's neighbor the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific but has a certain charm. The touch pool was fun for the kids and they got to hatch some Grunion eggs! I, on the other hand, was captivated by the pressed seaweed.
