Matt and I decided to make the most of my Alternate work schedule - Monday's off. We are going to make an adventure out of those days rain or shine. Instead of the beach we went to Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ. Besides anyone can go to the beach, right?We didn't want to go where there would be a big crowd, so we picked Camden vs. Baltimore. What we like best about the aquarium was the hippopotamuses. They were fun to watch as they bobbed up and down and swam gracefully around each other. In fact, they almost seemed plastic and robotic behind the glass. Their eyes didn't even shut going from the surface to underwater and back again.
Matt likes to take pictures, so he took mine with a camera phone at the diver exhibit. They dove into an 800,000 gallon tank full of sharks, turtles, stingrays, and school fish. As they sunk to the bottom, they took questions from on lookers and talked about the ocean sea life surrounding them.
Matt mentioned his two favorite places in the aquarium. The 40-ft. shark tunnel is awesome! You are looking at least 20 pairs of hungry eyes and rows and rows of sharp teeth as they swim over, under, and around you! Also, the ghostly jellyfish are strange and yet fascinating as they pulse and move their tentacles with the flow of water. Are you sure they are not aliens?
We had a great day! We made three rounds....and just couldn't get enough. Go to the website and you can get a 360 virtual tour inside the whole building!
