KAT'S VIEW
The Maritime Center was really cool. I got to pet a shark. It felt weird. They were only nurse sharks so they were really lazy and they wouldn't try to bite. There was a bunch of games, too. You could fly a plane, which I was terrible at. I went into outer space! Another game was to steer a boat, which was confusing for me, but mom and dad were able to do it. Also there was a board with lights on it to answer questions.
