Today, Josh and I spent the day in Camden New Jersey at the Battleship New Jersey and the Adventure Aquarium (#87 on my Day Zero list)! The battleship was one of the coolest things ever! This battleship is the most decorated in United States history! It was also the only U.S. Battleship to provide gunfire support during the Vietnam War! The adventure aquarium was a bit of a let down, we ended up leaving much earlier then planned.
Pictures! (Ps, It was VERY windy today, so please excuse the hair)

This battleship was launched on December 7th, 1942. It was decommissioned and recommissioned a couple of times throughout the years but was officially decommissioned on February 8th, 1991 in Bremerton, Washington and made its way to Camden, New Jersey on November 11th, 1999 and was then restored and made into an educational museum.
End of the Battleship....Next we headed to the Aquarium...
The one thing we did like was being able to pet the sharks
Haha Josh hates Penguins! (Inside Joke)
