Maryland Trip - Day 3

Day 3 was one of my very favorite days of the trip. We went to Baltimore which was a very special place to Natalie and I. The parts we saw were absolutely beautiful. It was so peaceful on the pier overlooking the water. Mom and Dad spoiled us and took us to the Baltimore National Aquarium. It was the perfect choice because Brian has been so into ocean life and the animals that live in water.

The aquarium was one of the neatest places I have ever been. And we all loved it.

There were wonderful exhibits all over the place, and the kids got to see all kinds of different fish and water animals. Brian loves to go fish with his Grandpa Fuhriman and it was neat to watch his reaction to the fish. We even saw the jaws of one of the largest sharks to ever be found on the planet.



The aquarium was amazing because it had enormous fish tanks where you could see creatures that you never imagined possible. (I have decided to put my videos on with You Tube because the upload speed is so much faster)





The aquarium had wonderful displays everywhere, and I love the colors of the ocean.


And at the end of the first part of the aquarium there was a 3 story shark tank that was very fascinating. I never want to encounter one of these in the wild.



And then to top it off, they had a dolphin show in an indoor tank. It was cheesy as you can tell by the music. But Kallie and Brian loved watching the dolphins, and they could do some pretty amazing stuff.



There was also a Jelly Fish but I took about 300 pictures and videos in the aquarium and my battery didn't last for those.

One of Natalie's requests for the trip was that she wanted to have "real seafood" caught right out of the ocean. So Dad took us too, The Rusty Scupper. Natalie was able to have swordfish topped with fresh crab. She loved it!



We loved Baltimore, what a wonderful place! And being so close to the water is so peaceful.
