A Special Occasion

On President's Day, Matt was off work and we went out to play. We started by stopping for lunch at Chipotle, then went on to the Aquarium in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. We had a few minutes to wait so we wandered around the pier looking out over the water and looked at a submarine and Coast Guard cutter docked at the pier. 

We toured the aquarium until it closed and saw all kinds of interesting sea creatures. Matt seemed to pay more attention to the eels, octopus and jellyfish. We both liked the sharks and rays. I liked the jellyfish and all the vibrantly colorful fish; red, blue, yellow, orange, rainbow and even ones with a pearl-like luster.

An escalator in the aquarium has a mirrored wall. With limited time to react, this was the best shot.

There is an atrium at the Aquarium as well. These pleasantly reminded Matt of the parrot Grandma and Grandpa Belstra used to have:

Afterward, we walked around the pier a little more and then I suggested we browse the Best Buy that's within a short walking distance. We weren't quite hungry enough for dinner yet, so we looked around the store for a while checking out Wii software and accessories. We didn't buy anything just yet, but we will acquire more software soon. 

Matt took me to dinner at a seafood restaurant near his work. He goes there occasionally for business dinners. It was nice and right on the water. We could look out our window to see several boats docked and to see a cool looking bridge in the near distance.

When I asked a waiter to take our picture, Matt commented that it was a special occasion. He remembered. :) 

It was a happy 6 month-iversary celebration with my Sweetheart!
