The Aquarium

My mom took off work today and we did the tourist thing. First off, she loves trains so we had to drive the Honda to the end of the line and took the light rail into Baltimore City. She thinks it's so fun but honestly it's just freakin public transportation to me. The ride down to the city wasn't bad because we left around noon, so the train was empty. If any of you know anything about Baltimore then you'll know that Cherry Hill is one rough and ghetto neighborhood. Well, the light rail not only goes right through Cherry Hill - but it stops there too. I always hold on to my purse a little tighter when we get to that stop. The ride home from Baltimore sucked though because it was rush hour and everyone was getting off work. Why does she think standing up holding onto a pole and traveling through the ghetto is glamorous? I'll never know.

Here's a pic of me riding the rail...



So, we walked down to the Aquarium - of course I took some photos along the way...

This is me in front of the water...





This is the Power Plant...



And of course a photo blog of Baltimore wouldn't be complete without a picture of a bum sleeping on a bench...



We finally made our way into the Aquarium. We saw the Dolphin Show which was cute. It was pretty short - only about 20 minutes and it was definitely geared towards kids - but whatever.

They also had a Frog Exhibit. Initially I wasn't impressed - but when I finally walked through the exhibit I was really liking it. In fact, I think I enjoyed it more than the sharks, the rain forest or even the sea horses.

Check it out...







This is an actual picture of an actual frog - almost dirty looking isn't it??



Anyway, it was a good day - had a lot of fun.
