National Aquarium & Inner Harbor

 Our second week here we drove into Baltimore's Inner Harbor and spent a day at the National Aquarium.  The Aquarium is made up of 3 different towers.  They had an Australian Exhibit in one of them which is where we started.


 Then we headed to the jelly fish exhibit, which the boys thought was awesome.






We also got to see a dolphin show.  While we were waiting for it to begin D got to help one of the workers put together a dolphin dummy.  He added fins, tail, and teeth.


 AJ was so worried we wouldn't get good seats that she insisted going 45 minutes early and saving us some.  She sat and read while she waited.  Is she her Grandpa's or what? (reminds me of my dad sitting in bleachers and reading a book while waiting)
 And hello dolphin!  There were three different dolphins doing tricks.  We were sitting in the splash zone but much to AP's disappointment we didn't get wet.  We did get to see some cool jumps and twists from the dolphins though.

We finished up in the Rain Forest section.


There were big ships and submarines all over the harbor, so I snapped a shot of one before we headed out.
