Thank you to Newport Aquarium for sponsoring this post.
Just a couple of hours away, near Cincinnati, is one of my Big Boy’s very favorite places on earth, Newport Aquarium. It’s a great place to experience fresh and salt water fish, reptiles, penguins, and many other animals. One of my personal favorites is the piranhas. I think those guys are just too cool. Big Boy loves the jellies, and Little Man’s favorite is Newport’s newest exhibit: the seahorses.
