| The opening display... cheerful and vibrant |
While it was not the National Aquarium (which I have frequented on numerous occasions, having grown up in Baltimore), it was still absolutely delightful. The shark tunnel and the jellyfish display were particularly awesome.
I am not, perhaps, awake enough to give a full recount of my trip. At least, not one that will make sense. So, instead, I will simply share my favorite pictures from the venture.
The Shark Tunnel

| It was pretty cool seeing the sharks swimming over me! This was a Sand Tiger Shark |

| Another shark--a Black-tipped Reef Shark, I think--about to swim right over me |
The Jellyfish Room

| The large jellyfish tank when you first enter |
 |
| Jellyfish close-up... I was very proud of this picture! |
 |
| This tank was beautiful--with these luminescent jellyfish moving around surprisingly fast |
 |
| Another jellyfish picture I am quite pleased with--it captures well the fluid grace of these creatures |
I realize that both these sharks and these jellyfish have the potential to be dangerous, if encountered in the wild. Still, I am grateful for an opportunity to see them for the marvelous creatures they are--especially in so pleasant of an environment!
