Diners, Fishies, and a Boat

Day three began with a big greasy breakfast and coffee at Beth's. Patrons draw pictures on computer paper and hang them up all over the walls, but our favorites weren't hand drawn:

The bottom strips were the song lyrics. Gotta recreate this in Memphis.

We knocked off the fourth thing on the city pass: Woodland Park Zoo! It was a pretty decent zoo, but unfortunately they couldn't back the same claim as Beth's:

We continued on to the aquarium to mark off the fifth city pass attraction. Creepy fish galore!

Just one pier over was the final item on our city pass: the harbor tour. It was a one hour boat ride around the harbor with a guide spouting interesting facts and, you know it - a commemorative photo:

We finished the six touristy attractions of our city pass in just three days, which has gotta be some sort of a record, but we got nothin'. The girl who took our last ticket for the harbor tour did comment that most people don't finish theirs, so I guess we have bragging rights.

    1. True, the teeth and lips are what got me. After seeing totally fishy-lookin' fish, this one just took us by surprise!

  4. P.S. but I don't think it looks human otherwise.
