On Monday, June 28th Matt and I invited Chandler McNeil to visit the Camden NJ Waterfront. Chandler's mother offered her family pass card to the Aquarium. We packed up and spent a cloudy hot 96F day inside! This particular aquarium have wind turbines installed on the roof, which are actually called "Wind Architecture." They generate clean and green electricity for the Camden Waterfront. We had fun walking around looking at the fish, hippos, sharks, jellies, touch tanks: stingrays, sand sharks, and starfish.
If you do a 360, you can see the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Aquarium, City of Philadelphia across the Delaware, and the Old RCA "Nipper" Manufacturing building. Presently, the remaining part of the huge building was made into luxury condos. The backpack radios that Buzz Aldren used on the moon were made in the building.
Usually, during the hot summer days we take day trips to historical places, museums, and points of interest. Matt had not seen Chandler in nearly six months. They were very happy to "hangout" together and talk. They are growing so fast, and are the best of friends. However, it is hard to connect with each other during the school year, as well as the summer family schedules. They certainly made the best of it! This is what ALMOST 14 year olds look like!
We had fun using the camera my mother gave me for my birthday!
