Visit to Mission Bay & Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium – 16 December 2014

After we picked up the girls’ visiting grand uncle and grand aunt from Christchurch at the airport, we had dim sum lunch at a Chinese restaurant.  Then we adjourned to Mission Bay for sightseeing.  It was frrrrreakkkkking COLD at the bay with strong winds.  Now, what kinda of freezing cold summer is this in Auckland?!  We will definitely need 2 large luggage bags to lug some really thick winter wear along if we go to Auckland during the winter next!

See, the drama queen had 5 layers of clothing on!  I told you she is melodramatic!

 

 

From the Bay, we crossed the road over to the park for the girls to play at the playground.

 

 

 

Next, we headed to Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium.

The highlight of the aquarium for the girls were the super adorable and majestic penguins.   We spent a good 20 minutes filming the penguins and oohing and aahing over them.

From Mission Bay, hubs set  his Google Maps for direction to drive home but half way along the drive, the GPS was disconnected and we lost our way.  We spent over an hour on the road, resetting the Google Maps and finally reached home.  We had dinner at a Chinese eatery and then headed home.
