Newport Aquarium

We are all on spring break at the moment. It is a study week for Mark and he is working hard on a paper and is also doing extra hours at the Recreation Centre. We did manage a whole day away yesterday though and had a wonderful day. We travelled nearly two hours to Newport which is east of Louisville. We had been told about the aquarium there and it was pretty neat. It took several hours to walk around and had lots to look at. As you can see from the photos a few things were quite hands on. One of the birds took a liking to Rachel's ear though and she wasn't so keen on them after that.

After visiting the aquarium we walked over the purple walking bridge which takes you from Newport, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the same in Louisville. You can travel over the bridge and you are in Indiana, a new state. We sometimes go the movies at a $1 theatre in Indiana. With our trip to Mississippi we have now been in 7 different states. This photo is taken in Newport with Cincinnati across the Ohio River in the background.
