Day 1 is a travel day and our first stop, even though it is a little out of the way, will be the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Food: For a snack be sure to pack some Goldfish crackers and
some Swedish Fish candy!
The National Aquarium opened on August 8, 1981. Each year it has 1.5 million visitors and is the largest tourism attraction in the State of Maryland. The aquarium holds more than 2,200,000 US gallons (8,300,000 l) of water, and has more than 17,000 specimens representing over 750 species. The National Aquarium's mission is to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures. Click on the link to take a virtual tour of the aquarium!
