Beaches, Aquariums, Fireworks!

July 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The past couple of weeks have been so much fun! Here’s how I’ve been enjoying my time off:

390230492_2195e49bc1_oChino and I drove to Boston to visit the New England Aquarium. Myrtle the turtle is my favorite! After, we went and saw the Under the Sea 3D Imax show, and it was awesome!

On the way to pick up his brother in Newark, Chino and I stopped in Teaneck, NJ to eat at Veggie Heaven (pretty good Vegan restaurant for those that are interested). We had time to kill so we walked down to Lark Street Music. Chino was in heaven, and I was just taking it all in. The owner collects rare vintage guitars, which I obviously know nothing about but as objects I loved the vintage Paisley/Flower Fender Stratocasters he had, and these amazing carved wood electric bodies he had hanging up. In the end Chino made an impulse buy and bought an Orange.

My friend Chris moved home from Santa Barbara. We’ve been going to the beach and playing with my dog nearly everyday. We’re making plans to go camping in Cape Cod soon.

I spent 4th of july jumping off the Bell Island Bridge in Rowayton and going to a barbeque at my friend Bianca’s house. I met a lot of new friends, ate a lot of desserts, tried shrimp cocktail for the first time (and liked it!) and watched a full-scale illegal firework show in her back yard. I still have individual cheesecakes I’ve been treating myself to. Yum!

What have you been up to lately?
