Here's the view from the top of the building. You can see the Milwaukee Museum of Art in the center right.
This is the world's largest replica of the great lakes! Every once in a while, automated shades will pull down over the windows and it will "thunderstorm" over the lakes. Also, lots of little kids will scream.
Jordan checking out a turtle. He hates having pictures take of him, so I have to get them while he's distracted. (Jordan, not the turtle.)
You could watch fish swim UNDERNEATH YOUR FEET! I almost tripped because I didn't see the glass until the last second and part of my brain was thinking I'd fall into the water.
JELLY FISH!
Caribbean FISH TUNNEL! It was pretty neat seeing all the pretty, bright colored sea creatures swimming all around.
This is the "touch tank," where kids could reach into the water and touch the fish and things. There were horseshoe crabs in there! I chickened out though, and didn't touch anything.
Jordan again, pretending to be the captain of an 18th century schooner replica. Two-hour tours are available on the ship, where you can actually go out on Lake Michigan on the boat, but they were like, $40 a pop. Way expensive.
Me, messing around with one of those "player pianos." The ones where you just push the pedals and it plays by itself. This one played "On Wisconsin."
Hanging out during lunch. We packed our own. Egg salad sandwiches, peaches, tortilla chips and salsa con queso, and carrots.
There was an old school Nintendo game in the "sound" exhibit, and my boyfriend is such a huge nerd, so we had to stop and play with it for a bit. Some of the keys on the controller were broken though. :(
That's it! Getting my biometrics taken wasn't all that difficult. It just consisted of a lot of waiting and then getting my fingerprints taken. I'm almost done applying for my visa! Just waiting on a letter from the bank, and then sending it off! LONDON IN THREE AND A HALF WEEKS!!! OMG!
