National Aquarium

Simone's daycare was closed for in-service today, so we took the opportunity to visit the National Aquarium in Baltimore. We'd been intending to go all summer, so we were happy to finally do it.

The first stop was a giant pool of rays and turtles, very cool.




Why do they look so scared? Like father like daughter.

Up close and personal with a great big fish!


And then a stop to check out the littler ones.





A beautiful star fish.



A family shot in the tropical rainforest room.

Mr. Parrot was getting cooled off. It was a real scorcher -- 98 degrees today.








And of course, what would an aquarium be without a dolphin show?




This fella's name was Spirit.

Last but not least, some play time in the children's area dressed up as a fish and a turtle.


Another great summer daytrip! Next stop... the Caribbean.
