A sellout crowd got into the swim of things at "Splash! 2000." The National Aquarium brimmed with about 2,000 partyers, who helped raise more than $85,000 for its coming seahorse exhibit.
Resident dolphins frolicked in their pool as their human guests boogied on the dance floor. Sea creatures nibbled air bubbles in their tanks, as sea lovers noshed on goodies from a boatload of Baltimore restaurants.
