National Aquarium

Last Sunday we took a trip up to Baltimore, Maryland to visit the National Aquarium. It was a very neat experience. We purchased discounted military tickets, and then picked them up at will call. We were very lucky to be able to just walk in. The aquarium gets so busy that they actually have entry times on the regularly priced tickets. We were instructed that strollers are not allowed in the exhibits, and that we had to check them in. At first, I was really upset because I expected Nathan to nap while we were there. The aquarium was very complimentary, though, and offered baby backpacks. Nathan did surprisingly well, and had a wonderful attitude for the majority of the time.

The majority of the exhibits were really dark so it was difficult to take a lot of pictures, unfortnately.

Nathan LOVED playing with the bubbles. We stayed there for quite some time :)

At the dolphin show. These nice people gave us their tickets...unfortunately our little man started throwing a fit during the show and we left.

 

 

 

After the aquarium, we walked across the street and had lunch at Dick's Last Resort...very interesting experience. We left Baltimore at 3pm and Nathan fell fast asleep as soon as the car started moving!
