Adventure Aquarium...Camden, New Jersey

This week we had a nice little surprise. In addition to Nana and Papa coming to visit, Chris had all of Monday off work, Tuesday evening off, and all day yesterday too. They were installing a new sound system at the theater. We dropped off Nana and Papa at the airport on Tuesday (more on their visit in a couple of days), and we had all day Wednesday to hang out with Daddy. So we decided to go to the Adventure Aquarium on the Camden Waterfront. In case any of you are bad with geography like I am, Camden is across the river from Philadelphia. Anyway, here are some great pictures of our trip to the aquarium!


This was the view from the front of the aquarium. That's part of the Philadelphia skyline in the background.


This is the Benjamin Franklin Bridge that runs between Camden and Philadelphia. It is beautiful! Jordan was funny about it, too. She said, "I thought it was supposed to be red."
This is some boat docked on the waterfront. It don't know what it is but it was cool!!!

Jaron could not wait to go touch the sharks. That was the first thing we did!!!!! I think this was a little tiger shark.



This manta ray was enormous! It is probably longer than Chris is tall. It was quite a sight!!!!
Jordan and Jaron in front of the shark teeth. Jaron was mad at us because the light was shining in his eyes and he couldn't see!!!

The piranahs!!!!!!! They totally freaked Jordan out :)


This sign was at the hippo exhibit. Funny, huh?


These are moon jellyfish. We got to touch some of them too.


The aquarium has been advertising their shark exhibit all summer. "Get in touch with your inner shark."

After a great time at the aquarium we decided to drive over to Philly and get an authentic Philly Cheese Steak. Here we are at Geno's Steaks. FYI, really cheese steaks only come with onions and cheese, no green peppers. I didn't know that!!!

Mr. Picky only wanted french fries.
Geno's Steaks is right across the street from Pat's Steaks. Both are famous for their cheese steaks.

This was next to the window at Pat's Steaks. COOL!!!!!!!!
