Boston

Over the weekend Greg and I went to Boston, with his mom. One of her friends, who she hadn't seen in years, was having a party to celebrate her marriage and her newborn baby. So, Greg's mom and her friend's mother arranged it so that we would go as a surprise, and since no one there had seen Greg since he was five, it was pretty exciting.

The party was really cool; they even had clowns that were doing face painting and balloon animals for free. While I was waiting in line, one of the clowns looked at me and was smiling, as she made a balloon animal, and then she just walked up to me and gave it to me; I didn't even have to ask or anything, it was pretty amazing.. She gave me a teddy bear balloon animal, which was cute because it reminded Greg and I of Spoticus. After we got our food, everyone at the table started playing with it, it was pretty funny.

It started when Greg and I made it look like he was drinking from this empty champagne bottle, then one of the ladies sitting at the table took a white rose out of the vase in the picture, and made the bear hold it, which was really cute.


The next day we went to the Boston Aquarium. It was a lot of fun, and the weird thing is, I had forgotten I had ever even been there, until I got there and started to recognize things and realized I had gone there the first time I met my aunt's friend Debbie. But, since I told Greg and his mom I had never been to Boston before, I didn't say anything. hahaha

The first thing we saw was penguins, and they were really cute.


I'm not sure what either of these fish are called, but they look pretty cool.

I loved watching the jellyfish move. I don't know why, but I just found it so amazing, they way they just kind of flow.

This was a really cool looking seahorse, that looked like it had leaves growing out of it. A lot of them just blended in with the plants, but this one was up against the glass so I could take a decent picture.

This is another seahorse I thought was pretty cool.

Starfish, in the same tank as the seahorse above.. They even had starfish you could touch! Some of them were squishy, and some of them were hard.. It was pretty sick.

It's Nemo! He lives in an anemone. :)

Shark! It was in this really cool tank that was in the center of the room, with a bunch of other fish and turtles. Apparently the sharks don't eat the other fish because they are so well fed; at the aquarium they are offered food twice a day, whereas in the wild, they are lucky if they eat twice a month.


I'm not sure what these are called, but they are really spikey, which makes them cool.

This is a cuttlefish, I think it was Greg's favorite.. His mom said she thought it looked like Davey Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. hahaha

This was an electric eel. There were speakers that were hooked up above it, and everytime the eel sent out shocks, the speakers would make a sound, and there was a light that said whether the eel was locating its prey, killing it, or merely sending out a little wave.

This turtle was pretty photogenic.. He just sat there, eating sand. He was near a shark, and at one point he even kind of climbed on top of the shark, but the shark didn't even seem to mind.

Not sure what this is, Greg told me to take a picture of it. But I think it's cool how it blends into the sand.

Outside the aquarium.

This bridge that Greg and I really liked.

Boston was a lot of fun. I wish I could travel all the time..
