New England Aquarium

Another TKD social, em… not much to say, really?
In sum: We went to the aquarium (I got there exactly at 11:30AM!), aquarium-ed until about 3PM?, walked around Boston a bit, got free 7/11 slushies cuz it was indeed 7/11/09, captured the infamous Jack Sparrow, played lots of contact (and my best one EVER = alacrity!! Snix and Tara basically went into making-up-fake-words mode… such as alacrib and alacrust and alacross etc), and had sushi/dinner nearby. Then at 8PM, Tara, Jenny, and I showed up at LSC free movie Finding Nemo to perfectly end the day (though the movie projector wasn’t very high quality and made my head hurt…)

But will load tons of pictures (I tried taking a pic of all the animals we got to see) and yea, you will get comments if you’re lucky?? heh =)

I suppose it also suffices to say that, in answer to my question-of-the-day:
“If you were an aquarium animal, what would you be?”
Tara = Jellyfish Judy = Penguin
Jenny = Otter (except we didn’t see an otter)
Snix = Electric Eel
me (Ty) = Sting Ray, I guess? (–I wasn’t sure what my answer would be when I asked everyone xD haha, but it was definitely the most allusive animal that I was trying to take a good and cool picture all day -.-” I may have gotten one.. maybe… or not -.-” or maybe just lots of different angles of sting ray that weren’t particularly impressive…)
Mary = Tomato frog
Aaron = Octopus (I think? correct me if I’m wrong -.-” heh)

(Mary and Aaron came late, so they went through the aquarium by themselves but had sushi/dinner with us)

Ok, picture time
OH!! Before I get started… be sure to FIND NEMO! GO!


Where are we?? ^^ They say “A picture says a
thousand words”–well, this one says one o.O!! uhhh


So many animals!! Including pink penguins and fuzzy
anachondas… I want a souvenir too!!


We found this machine by the gift shop–apparently
it turns pennies into oval-shaped collector coins =D
for 50 cents… I got one too! Mine has a lobster, octopus,
and crab–and it says “New England Aquarium”
“Boston” on it…Too bad it’s too small to take a
clear picture of… =(

Here’s how it works though… pretty neat!
