Aquarium Afternoon

Over Christmas break I got to spend a lot of quality time with my father-in-law, Jonathan.  We had never really spent that much time together until now.  He is such a kind-hearted person and a lot of fun!  He took us to the Boston Aquarium which was AMAZING!  It had the best penguin exhibit that I have ever seen;  I was on cloud 9!!  There is a also this huge tank that is in the middle of the building that goes from the first floor to the top! We saw sharks, huge turtles, manta-rays, and tons of other cool fish.  It was a wonderful afternoon and I cannot wait to go back!

We also went and saw a play, "A Christmas Carol", at Trinity Repertory Company.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I've always been a huge fan of "A Christmas Carol."  I'm so happy I got to spend all this time with Jonathan.  Dave is truly lucky to have him as a father.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

I HEART Penguins

Ever since reading Mr. Popper's Penguins in 3rd grade, I have been slightly obsessed with the tuxedo-like creatures.  I even tried to convince my parents to let me get one as a pet.  I figured we could drill holes in our freezer so he/she could breathe and I would stick an air freshener on him, since they are a tad smelly.  Why wouldn't that work?!?! :)  As you can guess, my parents said no.  So over the years, I've accumulated tons of penguin paraphernalia, including stuffed animals, jewelry, socks, pj's, slippers and a whole lot more!  Even though I am 27, I sleep with my penguin Pillow Pet, Petey.  He is so soft and is my much needed nighttime accessory. My friend even got me a mini penguin Pillow Pet for my honeymoon.  I named him Petey Jr. :)

Today I stumbled across this cute penguin blouse from Anthropologie.  It's a cute pattern that I would ACTUALLY wear, unlike those tacky Christmas sweaters with penguins all over them! ;)  I'll put this on my wish list! 

Ask me any penguin question and I'm sure I'll know the answer!! :)
