A taste of home

We don't live in San Diego anymore which means that Shamoo and his family are far from our grasp. On Saturday we decided to do the closest thing possible to the "Sea World" experience and go to the national aquarium in Baltimore topped with a dolphin show. The dolphins, as always, were spectacular, probably on loan from San Diego along with the alternate coaching staff who spent most the time trying to sell us on saving the Chesapeake Bay...they even had a video showing us how to pick up trash.

We went to a 4-D Imax film...that's right 4-D. The fourth Dimmension was the added elements of spraying water in our faces and blowing air on our feet and backs. The best part of the film was to listen to all the kids reaction to being sprayed, poked, and winded. At one particular moment a scientist came right to your face and threw up while simultaneously you got sprayed with a mist of water. It felt dirty. The kids cried, laughed, and screamed...and poor Chase came out of the experience wet and alarmed.
