I'm still on vacation from The Times and yesterday I took my spouse and mother-in-law to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. I'd been there before for work and play when the The New Jersey State Aquarium opened sixteen years ago. If that's the last time you were there, you wouldn't recognize it. Now it's the appropriately-named Adventure Aquarium and there's so much more to see than there used to be. It was a delightful day!

I'm too smart/lazy to pedal. I just drove along. This same content is also on my wedding website where the images are larger. www.MichaelMancuso.net
