Baltimore

In front of the Baltimore National Aquarium Last weekend we had some friends invite us to go to Baltimore with them for the weekend, and being the vacationers that we are, we decided to go for it! It was a quick trip, packed full of lots of fun. We left Friday right after work, then got up Saturday morning and went to the National Aquarium, where we spend most of our day. We saw all different types of sea life and were amazed with how big the aquarium was. Some highlights of the aquarium were: the big shark and ray tank, seeing the scuba divers feed the fish, and watching the dolphin show. Yes that's right the aquarium even had a dolphin show inside!!! After that we explored Baltimore and did some site seeing, watch a street performer, visited the shopping areas, and went to the Fudgery. On Sunday we went to church and had a great time worshiping with the Baltimore members! Scottie and I both had really neat experiences at church and felt grateful that the Lord's true church is everywhere! After church we loaded ourselves back into the Tolman's car and made our way back to C-bus. Enjoy the pictures below!!! Me in front of a submarine!!! So cool!
This is a megashark's jaw!!! Supposedly they existed years and years ago...pretty fishy if you ask me!
Here's Calypso (a 3 legged turtle) and a nurse shark. This tank was one of my favorite parts, there were rays everywhere!!!


One of the scuba divers. Below the divers are feeding an eel!!! It was the coolest thing to watch. They got the eel to come all the way out of its cave to eat. Seeing the eel reminded me of the eel I saw only inches away from my face while scuba diving in Mexico.

The Dolphin Show!!!

The Harbor Area

We stayed and watched this street performer's entire show. It was so entertaining, and we were blown away with the crazy things he could do. For example, he balanced on this board on top of this bowling ball and juggled knives. WOW!

The Fudgery... you could watch them make the fudge and they even sang while they did it too:)

Us in front of the USS Constellation. We loved getting to explore Baltimore and are grateful for such great friends who let us come with them. Sadly we never got a picture together as a whole group...darn...Next time!
