8 Til 30 - Part 1 - New England Aquarium

I've been wanting to go to the Aquarium for such a long time.  I just haven't had the chance to go or others have been too busy to join me.  So, I decided to make it part of my birthday month celebrations!

The day was full of activity, but it was so much fun.  All I really want for my birthday is to spend my time with all my friends, doing things I consider as really fun.  It's amazing, though, how busy everyone is.  I feel like I had to pack in a ton of activities or else no one would be able to come to anything.

But I had 3 awesome people join me at the Aquarium.  Begin the photo dump!

I really have to make a point of going the aquarium more often.  There's something so soothing about being around all the ocean creatures.  Of course, being a mermaid, I needed to commune with my fellow deep sea creatures for my birthday.  I couldn't imagine not having a connection with these beings or with the ocean.
