While Grandmom and Granddad were visiting in November, we took a day trip to Hunstanton, which is on the Norfolk coast about 2 hours from here. They have an aquarium and a seal rescue center there, which we all really enjoyed visiting. It was a somewhat small place overall, but it was perfect for Charlotte and was very kid-centric.

| Playing at the touch tank -- she got a medal for touching a starfish. She didn't want to touch a crab because of a Curious George story where George gets bitten by a crab. "I don't want to touch his back, he might turn around fast and go SNAP!" We didn't force the issue ;) |

After we enjoyed lunch, Charlotte asked to go through the aquarium again so we did (it was small -- not hard to say yes!). Then we went outside and played on the beach for a bit, watching the wave action on the North Sea. Charlotte absolutely loved playing with the rocks and seashells, alternately collecting them and tossing them into the waves.
