The Hubs and I went south over the weekend to escape the cold and attend a Model Railroad Show in Baltimore. We took the Brawn, because he's too cute to leave behind. On Friday we went to the National Aquarium on the Inner Harbor of Chesapeake Bay in downtown Baltimore, found parking in Little Italy at the Dodge Garage (say that 3 times fast!), loaded up Brawn & the diaper bag in the stroller, paid for our tickets, went inside, and discovered that we had to check our stroller like a coat.
.
If you've ever met the Brawn, you know how fast and silent he is. I was pretty nervous, considering that the Dad injured his shoulder and probably wouldn't be able to carry Brawn thru the entire museum. I didn't want to carry captain wiggles, either. We decided to hold our noses and jump in feet first.
.
You know something? He did GREAT! There were a few times he wanted to look longer at a tank than we did, and other times he wanted to go and we weren't ready, but all in all, he was a champion museum attendant. Of course, after more than 4 hours of walking and looking, he crashed and burned as soon as we started the truck. Perfection.

The jellyfish were amazing. So graceful
.
.
The mushroom shaped ones seemed like bumper cars, bumping and turning with ease
.
.
Others tend to float and billow
.

Some reminded me of deflated baloons, drifting in the wind
.
.
They tangle and untangle themselves from each other at random

But my very favorite jellyfish were the Upside Down Jellies. They reminded me of flowers, and while you can't tell from the photo, they are full of sheer colors
.
The Hubs wasn't so impressed with the jellyfish. He refered to them as "creepy" and "wierd". His faves were the Amazon rain forest frogs, but I couldn't get any good pictures of those.
