Couple of the Day
PostedOur visit to National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland last July 2008 was really memorable. At first, my husband was hesitant to go since he easily get lost with direction. But I convinced him to go anyway. That's the only way to conquer his fear of getting lost. So we went there and I was the navigator. We arrived there early and peacefully:)..But the gate was still closed. It opens at 8am. While waiting for the gate to open, we entertained ourselves by taking pictures and exploring the place.
At exactly 8am, gates opened and the ticket we bought was a complete package which includes, Dolphin Show and 4D Immersion Theater. We were both truly excited. As we walked inside, one guy suddenly approached us. He introduced himself as the manager and told us in a nice way to follow him. Hubby and I were looking at each other, wondering why. We didn't want to cause any commotion since it was getting crowded, so we obeyed and walked beside the manager. But I was already freakin' nervous and worried. Then the guy tried to get everybody's attention. He wanted everybody to come near him as he had some few announcements. He started by telling the crowd where the exact location of the aquarium, the theater and the dolphin show. Also, the "should do and shouldn't do" thingy to avoid accidents, stuff like that. Then he ended it by telling everybody that they chose us to be the couple of the day. Wow! What a surprise! :)..They gave us hats with the National Aquarium logo and they took us picture together. Here it is...
They also introduced us to all the staff and had a pose with them. Sad to say, the picture was kinda blurry. Before the dolphin show started, the tour guide took us to the backstage and we had a small chat with the trainers. We also had the chance to see the dolphin up close and even touched them. One trainer made a sign for the dolphin to say hello to us and the dolphin splashed the water towards us. That's how the dolphin say hello. Sooo cute! Then my husband had the privilege to participate in the show, as you can see in the picture below. The show was fantastic and we really enjoyed. Same thing in the 4D Immersion Theater. The 4D film was amazing and educational too.
Inside the Immersion TheaterPeople were clapping their hands and congratulated us after the announcement that we were the couple of the day. My husband was so thrilled, but not me. Don't get me wrong. I was happy but knowing me, I am painfully shy. As a matter of fact, I was blushing and wanted to run and hide at that time. Lol!!!..I actually asked my husband to tell the manager to just find another couple. Obviously my husband didn't listen to me or else we would have missed that once in a lifetime opportunity. Next to the National Aquarium is a cheesecake factory. We were supposed to go there for our lunch but as the couple of the day, we were given a free lunch. The manager and his assistant joined us in the cafeteria. So I had the chance to asked the manager why they picked us. He said, upon entering the door, he noticed that we were the only couple smiling. It showed in our faces that we were happy and excited which is true. When we got home, my husband said that it was actually my exotic beauty that caught the manager's attention.:)..oh well, he is really my husband huh! The whole experience was amazing, educational and undeniably unforgettable. We do hope to go back there someday.
