"I can hear the ocean!"

From Sea to Shining ... River?

Jeff took Kenny to the Franklin Institute in Philly.

I took Tim and the other two to Jenkinson's Aquarium.

Polar opposites. Happens sometimes in a state as narrow as NJ.

Actually, I wondered how our day trip would go, knowing that Tim likes to bounce back and forth between floors. With the stroller and no elevator, climbing up and down stairs could be clumsy if not dangerous.

But, the convenient news is that the seals were due a meal on the hour, so the upstairs was packed with spectators. Tim took one look around and returned to the vast and vacant downstairs.

Jeff and Kenny arrived in time for the noon IMAX which Jeff said is "very worth seeing." He had planned to stay for the six o'clock movie even though the museum closes at 5pm, but they came home instead. Kenny had had enough.

Frankly, I wondered how Jeff was going to catch the second half of the 24 premiere if they stayed so late.
