Jelly Fish Invasion & Some Blog Candy to Boot!

333 Comments

Hey All,

Well I made it to Baltimore, Maryland today.   It only took about 8.5 hours in the rain by car.  After the rainy drive however, I decided to treat myself to a little side trip and went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.   Well worth every penny spent on admission.  I have some photos to share with you from the Aquarium, but first how about some BLOG CANDY!!!  You know, the candy that isn’t fattening, woohooo!

How about a little Christmas in July?  I have a great Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Holiday Happiness to give away.

All you have to do to enter for a chance to win is leave a comment on this blog post telling me to enter you.  If you are getting this blog update via e-mail, please CLICK HERE and then leave a comment on the actual blog post.  No e-mail entries, please.

I will select the winner using a random number generator on Tuesday, July 12, 2011.  Good Luck to Everyone!!!

Now on with the Aquarium photos.   As you see I was quite fasinated by the jelly fish.  In fact the jelly fish room was my favorite out of all that I seen.  How awesome are they?

Other sights seen.  As you can tell I didn’t take a lot of photos of actual fish.  They were too quick, swimming to and fro, so my photos of them came out blurry.

Well it is time to hit the sack so I can be fresh for my Brayer Workshops tomorrow.

May your weekend be out of this world wonderful!

Until my next post.. . . . . .
