Baltimore Aquarium

We had talked about possibly going to Sesame Place today but with Daddy having to drive to Baltimore 3x next week for work he didn't want to drive 3.5 hours each way but he suggested we go to the aquarium instead....a very good compromise. After naptime we headed to Baltimore. We got to the big tank just in time for the 2:30 feeding. Ava was very excited to see the hude sea turtle having some lettuce.

Next we checked out some of the exhibits before the 3:30 dolphin show. Ava was amazing by the all the beautiful fish with bright colors. I was so excited she shares my love of aquariums.




Next it was on to the dolphin show. We sat in the third row right near the platform. We were in the splash zone but we managed not to get wet. This was so worth the entire trip. Dolphin are beautiful and smart creatures reminding me why had originally wanted to be a marine scientist. A lucky little girl got to pet the dolphin, and I could tell Ava wanted to pet the dolphin too!





Our other favorite part of the aquarium is the underwater exit ramps where you can see the sharks and the sting rays.


We ended the day with dinner at the cheesecake factory. Ava loved the bread as did we!
