St. Michaels Trip

 Today we planed a trip to St. Michael's to visit the Chesapeake Maritime Museum.  The museum is located about 90 miles away from Washington DC on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.  It was a lot of fun crossing the huge Chesapeake Bay Bridge which is over 3 miles long! It took us about an hour and a half to get there.  Before we arrived at St. Michael's we went to a Petsmart in order to find an aquarium to keep the oysters that we will try to catch. They had a fantastic exhibit on oysters.  I learned so much about oysters and took a lot of video notes with my new iPad.  Probably my favorite part of the trip was I was able to use tongs to catch my own oysters for my experiment.
