We wandered around the tanks, enjoying blacktip reef sharks, local Maryland wildlife (including some rescued puffins), and even got to stroke a stingray. The kids were vaguely interested, although Pete's main topic of conversation was when we were going to have lunch (pizza, not sushi). After they were refueled the fish were forgotten in favour of running around like loons in any open space they could find. I kept my eye out for an unoccupied tank that could house a few wild animals but sadly they were all taken.

Cute baby turtle.
Things got more interesting when a touch-screen was located.
The mammal tank, for rescued dolphins, where we went to see a trainer presentation.
Boys sitting at the back. The dolphins were far more obedient than the children.
Jellyfish!
Bubbles!
Rough play.
There was some freaking-out from the toddlers when the diver waved at them.
The boys refused to have their picture taken, so here's the best Davies-Murnane-fish family mash-up we could manage.
