Graduation Trip Part Three: Baltimore

Our trip from Kansas to Maryland was pretty jammed packed with events and activities. For our last day in Maryland we decided to head into Baltimore to go to the Aquarium! I've been wanting to go to one for over a year and am always talking about it. When we found out there was one in Baltimore Nick decided he would take me. :)

Here's Nick in front of a sweet coast guard boat that was just chillin' on the pier as we walked over to the Aquarium. Because it was Memorial Day weekend everything was pretty crowded; the aquarium only allows a certain number of people to be admitted at a given time. So, we realized we were going to have to purchase tickets for the afternoon and then come back to see the Feeshy!! (as I kept calling them ... hehehe)

We finally got in and it was crazy busy ... there were all kinds of "interesting" people around, not to mention some lovely body odors to go along with our "Feeshy" experience. Anyway, one part was the rain forest and it was pretty cool. We look ridiculous and this is how pictures come out when you're taking them of yourselves. We purchased the "full experience" tickets, which included a 4D movie and tickets to the dolphin show ... go big or go home I always say. So, this is me and Nick goofing around in line waiting for the people to let us into the movie. It was pretty entertaining ... all the little kids were crying and Nick and I were just laughing the whole time. Except when they had a snakes surround you and then something jabbed you in the back from out of the seat ... yes, I joined the kids and screamed out loud!
The Dolphin show was fun too! I decided in my next life maybe I'll be a Dolphin trainer! Here are a few pictures of the crazy dolphins and kind of a lame video, but hey it's all I got! :) (check out the dolphin carrying the rubber frog!


Later than night Danika took us into Annapolis and we went to Buddy's, which was a great crab place! I got some amazing crab soup and nick went for a crab cake melt! It was delicious. It was really fun to be in the town at night and see all the midshipmen walking around in their uniforms and all the excitement on the pier. They had boats and yachts that would dock in the middle and then just go get a bite for dinner or whatever ... someday, right?I pretty much look like a walrus in this one ... seriously, no one dispute me on this one! Last, but not least we stopped by a little candy/fudge store and got a few treats. I got a delicious caramel apple and Nick and Danika got caramel covered rice krispies that were actually really good!
Although, it was a crazy trip we really had a good time. Our last hurray as a married couple with out kids. It was fun to spend some time with both of our families before heading back to finish up the last few weeks of pregnancy and then start a huge new chapter of our lives. :)
