So obvious of all obviousness, we went to the New England Aquarium of Boston.
It was highly recomended to us -walk on the dock, huge fish tanks and shows going all the time. But honestly... it was hyped up way tpo much and my expectations were certainly shot. It was similar to anyone I had seen. That only really being the Sydney and Canberra Aquariums. Jay informed me of the Melbourne one. And how it "shits on anything else" in comparison. So at least I have that to look forward to.
I'm not the biggest fan of Zoo's and Aquariums, but knowing that (most? All - We weren't informed a percentage) of the animals are rescues, or born at the Zoo/Aquarium, makes me feel a little better for gawping at them all day.
My two favourite moments would be the stunningly ominus Jellyfish, and the adorable Seals.
We spent maybe 3 or 4 hours there. Waiting for each show to start while escaping the heat.
Soon as it started to cool off, we headed back to Central Station. As it was becoming cooler, it was still disgustingly humid, so to my excitement we headed into Blick Art Materials.
Yay! I work in an art store in Canberra called Eckersley's, and when I went into Blicks and saw the prices..... I couldn't really control myself. So many things are ridICULOUSLY cheaper then what we get it for... including my staff discount.
I refrained from buying markers, bit still spent a solid $100 on bits and bobs. No regrets. (My haul ▼)
Late to sleep. I had a hard time getting there. We attempted to watch Princess and the frog on YouTube, but Jay crashed way before the end. A series of stupid events lead to me freaking out over nothing. Earlier that evening I watched a video on creepy pictures... so... our fan made the door slam, new 'room mates' came home late and made floorboards creek. Shit like that. Freaked me the fuck out and I stayed up sweating kilos off me while Jay snored away next to me. ♡
On the 2nd - Wednesday...
Very late start to the day. It was FUCKING HOT. I could not get my barings straight. I'm sick of eaking up sticky, not drying off properly after the ahower and then sweating again. Trying to put on makeup while sticky. And then not wating until 12pm which was 2 boiled eggs.
So, with 2 eggs each and a musley bar on Jays stomach, we headed into the city for SHOPPING. Again, to escape the heat. And what a good idea. It was so cold in there, I was TOO cold. We for Jay some good summer shirts from GAP and had a good wonder round of the mall. And then suddently. A beaken of light. I had found the biggest makeup store I had ever seen. Sephora. Oh Swphora, so many beautiful brands, ao many good prices. I love you. I do. Why aren't you in Australia. Again, I didn't hold back - and why not? Technically I saved hundreds of dollars. I spent a lovely $280 US. $296 AUS which is awesome because if I bought it Aus, it would have been upwards $400 AUS. (Haul ♡ ▼)
For lunch Jay had pizza. We talked to the restraunt head and he said I should be able to eat there. Turns out no. So I only got a Strawberry Lemonaid. I wasn't expecting to have so much sugar on its own, so I'm paying for that tonight.
I end this blog, sitting inbetween 2 fans, editing photos lamely.
After a delicious dinner stirfry (which included Kojac/soy noodles) and lots of chocolate. I am satisfied.
This is Ella, signing out. Until the next adventure...
P.S .. Outfits of the day....
