Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

Our Last adventure before Daddy left AGAIN was to Hakkeijima Sea Paradise. The day before we knew it was to be a rainy overcast sit on the couch sort of day. Sitting on the couch was not an option we wanted to explore. After doing a little research we decided on Sea Paradise Island. Of course it would be a fantastic destination on a sunny day since the whole island is essentially a theme park. You don't pay to get on the island. You can purchase "package' deals or single events once there. I am sure we will be back for Rory:) There is a nasty looking roller coaster the surf coaster that goes out over the water. Our goal was to get inside out of the rain and enjoy the aquarium. Dylan was very excited about the view out the train window. He is a toddler handful always trying to stand :) Our rule is only knees or bottom on chairs, couches and benches. We are still learning:)
Above is a picture of the second half of our train ride out to Sea Paradise Island. The elevated train ride was pretty fascinating if I do say so myself. As you figured, if you thought about it, the train had to go over the water out to the island.

The ticket we purchased was for the aquarium, dolphin fantasy and a Lagoon. The dolphin fantasy and aquarium were next door to each other so we only visited two of the three.

Dolphin Fantasy was a building which held a giant dolphin swimming pool which you could walk under watching them play. As you see in this picture we were blessed to be accompanied by our good friend Jason.

check out this guys nose!

We thoroughly enjoyed the aquarium:)

The whale show was great though a little strange since we didn't understand a word that was said. As you can see Dylan was pointing and squealing with delight. The excitement of a child is contagious and such a blessing
No he does not usually sport a bib as part of his outfit:) The show corresponded with lunch time.

A bit of Engrish for you to enjoy. I am not sure if you can read this ladies sweat shirt or not

Here is what it said

HUNTING

"Hey boys can't you leave me alone for one second?

(not sure the first word)??, I get fired of being chased"

Some more Engrish for your reading pleasure.
We couldn't even begin to try and interpret what they thought they were telling us in this sign.

It was great seeing Dylan's eyes grow as wide as saucers when this shark swam right by his little face.
