Hey thanks for the info OD. I think I may just make a day of this and take my nieces and nephew.

It's a good time...kids and adults seem to enjoy the Institute tour, touch tanks, sharks, and all the other exhibits. If you go, stop by the commercial and recreational fisheries area and say Hi.

I was supposed to have other plans but it looks like they are going to fall through so there is a pretty good chance that I will show up with the wife and kids.

Hey now, that would be awesome. I'd love the chance to meet your family!

Cool ~ you guys will have a good time. Every section/department really puts in a lot of effort to show the public what we do (research/science). The kids will go home with neat stuff too. I'll be at the Fisheries Dependent Monitoring tent talking about commercial and recreational fishing. Stop by, it'll be nice to meet you both.

I'll let you know when I know for sure and we can meet up and say hello. I'll let you meet the family but you can't let the kids know that their dad might be a little nutty.

I hope to meet you there. It looks like it will be fun and my kids love anything to do with the water so I'm sure they will love it. I wonder where they get that from?
