NEWPORT AQUARIUM
According to the Newport Aquarium site, they were voted the #1 aquarium in the country. It just doesn't say when. I did not get to go on this trip that my husband, children and mother-in-law took, as I had to work. There have been several occasions like that and on one occasion I got a tattoo on my right shoulder with my kids' initials and birthstone colors in hearts so I wouldn't miss them as much. I'm glad the kids had a wonderful experience, but I have to admit to being a wee bit jealous at such times.
Even if you couldn't tell by the date on the photos, you could tell that these are *ahem* old pictures, because the kids here are the same ones in the cave pictures from yesterday. Only they're more like young adults now. Heck, the boys are old enough to drive!
Aside from the Louisville Zoo, and maybe Kentucky Kingdom (amusement park) I'd hazard a guess that the Newport Aquarium is probably the most visited family-oriented destination in the state.
I can see a school field-trip or two in All Gallow's Eve where "the poor ignorant country children are treated to the educational experiences available only in the big city". At this point, I can hear DS2 (far right in the above picture) say, "do I notice a hint of sarcasm"? Hmmm. What do you think?
Ok. I'll stop now.
