Fosters was awesome!!
If you missed this roadtrip/tour, you missed an incredible experience. 
The staff were fantastic, the tanks were very cool and the livestock rocked!  For the dozen or so of us who went, they did a raffle and gave away 4 light fixtures, a box of salt and a chiller! Yippeeeee 
I'm probably the first one home and ready to post, so I won't blow it for anyone else, but I got a beautiful Purple Tang, another Sun Coral and a couple new Zoanthid frags. Everything is just settling in, but as soon as I can, I'll post pics.
Oh, and thank you to Tim and Jason for being great car companions. The trip wouldn't have been the same without your company. Thanks!!
Jennifer

I got some of the really tiny ones this time. 2 different yellows and 2 different reds. They didn't get a chance to open up all the way before my lights went out, so I'll have to take pics tomorrow.

You definitly missed out if you did not attend! It was something that you HAVE to see! I was absolutly amazed by what they showed us today, but from talking to one of the employees, we didnt see it all! I guess the room that was directly above us houses the mother colonies of the "mother colonies" we saw today (HUGE colonies). I have 72 pics that we took today that I will post as soon as my computer decides to work with me!

WOW! it is all i can say.. i had a great time meeting all the people i did not know behind the internet. the group of us that stayed the night before we had a blast, it was fun going out for dinner and hanging out at the pool and hot tub which your groups tub was WAY hotter... live aquaria was amazing the staff and everyone helping was more than happy to work with us, i can say i was in awwwwww. if i could have their job i could say any of us would take it you gotta see first hand. i wanna say thanks to everyone who went and who helped get this organized it was so fun to be a group and experience it all together i hope when we go again we can fill the list of 60 people and really buy out everything there.. though i think we did all spend lots of money. thanks again for everyones help with eveything tons more pics to come.
