Our 4th July Celebration(Part 1)

We celebrated our 4th July(Independent Day) in Long Island,our home area..it's also in conjunction with Eliot vacation .He want us to go somewhere on his vacation but since Mishu have swimming classes , we can't change her schedule,we better stick to her schedule then wasting the $$ we paid. Instead we bring Mishu to Atlantis Marine Aquarium at Riverhead but sadly I didn't know this aquarium close at 5.00pm..If I know the aquarium close so early ,we should be there when the park open in the morning..Anyway,we just enjoy our 2 hours trip there:( the ticket is not cheap at all..we paid almost $70 for 3 of our tickets.

the weather is quite hot,so I suggest Mishu to wear her hat.She hate wearing hat.Even as a baby she refused to wear hat.

this place is not really huge like Sea world. it's took us 40 minutes drive from our home

at the front entrance of the aquarium



next to the ticket booth,there is a pond of Mr Ray swimming around looking for food-handout

Mishu keep hurry,going to next spot.We still didn't know this aquarium close at 5 pm,maybe Mishu have 6 sense!! her daddy said to her,why hurry?

she found a map on a bench!! she thought she is Dora the Explorer!

we found Nemo,Dory and friends here too

another side of the park we was given $15 free arcade coupon and after enjoying all the games in arcade ,we was inform the park is going to close in 10 minutes.

we see another outdoor pond of Mr Ray's swimming around ,of course there plenty of shark fish and etc

after spending about $70 in the aquarium,Mishu get a Free Sponge Bob bubble tank!!

since the aquarium close at 5.oo m,we headed out from the East and stop at Tanger's Outlet just 5 miles away.But sadly I was informed the whole outlet closed at 6.00 PM because it's July 4th! Cis!! The only and first store I visit is Corning...luckily I bought a set of Pyrex's ware on sale!! hehehe! maybe I should come here next week again..

after Tanger's Outlet,we headed to Port Jefferson for our dinner..Stay tune for more !!!
