Stampin’ Up rented out the Downtown Aquarium (in Houston) for us for the whole night — just us!
We were greeting by these two (on the right) when we got off the bus from the conference center… talk about feeling short! 🙂 They were really cool. That’s the Aquarium building behind them… so fun. Our first stop was the Shark Depot. It was a cute little train that made it’s way through the 7-acre park including a trip through a tunnel filled with sharks! Check out some of these photos (and sorry for the quality of some of these pics… I forgot my real camera so had to take all my Leadership photos with my cell phone!):

Check out the teeth on the big guy to the right… not something I want to run into!
We then went in and played with the Sting Rays… I was a wimp and wouldn’t feed them, but got soaked when my roomie (Rose Ward) fed them and they got overly excited. Unfortunately I don’t have any of those photos… trust me it was hilarious. The facial expressions on her when the sting ray sucked the little fishy out of her hand was priceless. I was too busy inspecting the fish that they wanted me to touch! Ha. If you’re friends with me on Facebook she tagged me in one of her photos… too funny.


They also had a shellfish bar, fruit bar, carving station, lobster sliders (I missed those… although I don’t really like lobster all that much …), and an amazing dessert bar! It was tough to decide what was better the mashed potato bar or the dessert bar!


Just before we headed to the bus to head back to the hotel we got a cute little black and gold aquarium t-shirt and the Sail Away stamp set from the new Occasions catalog.
It was such a fun night. What do you think… want to join me for a Stampin’ Up event some time? Well, it was announced at Leadership that new demonstrators will be able to attend Convention in July with NO registration fee — that’s a $280 savings! And convention is like a big party… I will be there and I’d love to have you join me. Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions… or if you know this is something you want to do… feel free to sign up here and I’ll get you started on your way to earning extra money to pay for the hotel and airfare!
Have a great week!
