Another Visit to the Baltimore Aquarium

Someone once told me that I’ve been way too many times to our National Aquarium, but besides the price, I really do like it there. This outing was a bit disappointing, since they are making changes and we missed the dolphins, but there is always something wonderful to see.

Today the children and I, along with Enric and Miranda visiting in from Wisconsin, went to see the new AUSTRALIA exhibit at the Baltimore Aquarium! I have been excited about this new exhibit since its announcement over a year ago. The aquarium has always been a wonderful place to visit,...
