AQUARIUMSSSSS. I want to see ALL the fish everywhere.
AQUARIUMS ARE AWESOME
i like octopuses and penguins :D
I used to live in NJ. Veterans’ Day together with Memorial and Labor made the triad of holidays I rarely noticed except in a “Oh yeah, that was yesterday” way. (Then I found out public schoolers got the day off and started paying more attention so I could bug Mom about it.)
Here everyone (including people on national TV, so it’s not just local) wears poppy pins for weeks beforehand. (Should be starting around now, actually.)
If you’re ever in the Boston area, you might want to check out the New England Aquarium. The penguin exhibit is right there when you walk in the door. The stingrays are quite nice as well, though they’re in a huge central tank with a lot of other fish, so it’s sometimes hard to find them.
(Warning: don’t go on a weekend and don’t eat any food they put together themselves. We waited in line for forty minutes to get in and tried to have lunch there only to find out the food sucked (save for chocolate milk and oranges).)
I wanted to get a stingray shirt from the gift shop, but the only one in my size said “Hello, my name is Ray” on it as if it were a nametag sticker. I don’t care how feminine I read, that’s asking for trouble. I got a nice non-cartoonish jellyfish shirt instead. Even got my parents to pay for it, on condition it would be given to me for my birthday.
