Adventure Aquarium aka "The Happening Spot If You're Under The Age Of 7"

To combat my cabin fever, Brian took me to Adventure Aquarium in Camden today. Unfortunately, about 16 elementary schools had the same idea.

I can't complain - in all honesty, aquariums are great for kids. It was so refreshing to see a bunch of children running and exploring and pointing and saying "wow" instead of playing their videogames and screeming and generally being ill-raised. I'm not saying it wasn't a challenge to navigate the corriders lined with strollers and herds of schoolchildren (man, those kids are FAST and completely oblivious to anyone over the height of 4 feet), but it was great to see that children these days still get a sense of wonder and awe at the natural world.

And the sharks were wicked cool too :-)
