The Norwegian and I took a quick camping trip this past week. We drove over to Springfield, MO--about 100 miles away--so we could visit the awesome new aquarium there. Here's a photo montage my dear hubby put together of our trip.
During this time of the virus, we're so thankful to have our camper. It feels like a very safe way to have a little adventure. We were able to keep to ourselves and the aquarium did a great job of screening us (temperature check and masks required) and limiting the number of visitors in the facility at one time. As a result, we had no crowds to fight and were able to explore at our leisure.
Not every exhibit was open. There was no opportunity to swim with the sharks (oh, darn!) and we saw no penguins, but it is a lovely aquarium. It's also an ode to fishing since it's attached to the Bass Pro Shop and houses a Fisherman Hall of Fame of sorts. There were even a number of photos and exhibits about past presidents who were avid fishermen. (And that is as political as I'm going to get!)
We're still chafing a bit over having our travel plans cut out from under us this year. A small adventure like this one really helps.
Have you been able to do something that inspires you, that educates you in a fun way, or makes you grateful to live in this wonderful world this summer?
