Today was an exciting day, we went to the Newpot aquarium in you guessed it Newport, Kentucky. I must say I was very impressed! The aquarium was amazing. The sharks were the big hit, they even had an exhibit were you could pet the sharks. Even though Ava will not remember this when she is older she had a wonderful time. She napped all the way up to Newport so she was in a great mood (Ava is usually in a good mood.) They have lots of shops around the aquarium and a live band was playing on the Newport levee. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of batteries half way through our trip. After the aquarium we went and shopped around for a while and walked down by the levee. We had a beer at the Irish pub and went to a German restaurant for dinner (disgusting, I hate German food,) but I went for Bert's sake because I know he enjoys trying new beers and he does love German food.
Fun! We really like the Newport Aquarium, and we've been trying to plan a trip to take Nicholas there this summer. I know he'll love it, b/c he loves fish! Ava looks like she was fascinated by the fish too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you don't like German food, by the way. Yum! :)
It looks like everyone had a good time. It is a great aquarium. If you ever get to Boston, the New England Aquarium is like no other aquarium. It sits right on Boston Harbor and you have a real sense of being in the water as you walk along the spiral ramp up five flights, viewing the aquarium and all the levels of plant and fish life. As for German food, you must have had a bad experience, because Kelly is right, YUM!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I want to go to that New England Aquarium now. It sounds amazing!
