My kids would LOVE that petting tank with the rays! They've experienced the one at the aquarium in Chattanooga, but the one in Jax looks better for being able to see the rays coming toward you. (Funny how y'all were in our old stomping grounds. We never went to the zoo there though.)
And this is a huge reason why I want to homeschool, too--the flexibility! Vacation in the middle of the school year!! :)
