Aquariums & Bugs
Monday, July 27th, 2009 | 47 Comments 
Today we went out in the boat! It was looking like stormy weather so we didn’t go far. Not out to barrier islands. We stayed in the sound instead and anchored at a nice big sand bar! The sun came out & was so intense! I’m quite pink again, hahahaa! It was so quiet & relaxing. A whole little island to ourselves. I didn’t bring my phone so no pics just yet~
Then we came home about 3 hours later because some storm clouds were brewing. Went to Edd’s Drive In for lunch! Looove this place. Really old drive-in with foods that can’t be beat! I got a chili cheese dog & a chocolate malt! It’s the type of place that you just can’t get food that tastes like this any where else!
Yesterday we drove to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas & Insectorium in New Orleans! Spent 8 hours there! My legs were so sore but it was fun since I hadn’t been in years. The insect place was brand new. I think my Dad just reaaally wanted to go to gross us girls out! It worked.
Took it as we left New Orleans. I remember visit in 2005 before Katrina/flood damage. The city was never that clean or modern but now it looks like a ghost cracktown. Really, really bad. It’s a shame. This store is refurbished though & thought it went well with the voodoo gumbo chips I posted earlier!
Well I leave home for DC tomorrow. I dunno. It’s been a bit up & down. It has been quiet though & being outdoors with hours to walk barefoot in the grass… Yea I miss that! But I’m finding I miss DC too. I couldn’t believe it but I do! Guess it’s not time for me to retire just yet to a quiet town huh!? Haahaahaa!

Wow, you just seem to find the most interesting places!
You think so!? Maybe? I always feel my outings must be boring hahaha!
uwaa i love aquariums ~ ! and the sandbar sounds heavenly ~ x3
i’d love to travel around for the summer too, but it seems im just going to be at home for the rest of my vacation TT__TT
i love your new layout by the way ~ ! i love pastel colors to death xD
I haven’t been to an aquarium in sooo long!
I really want to go now :]
Wow, 8 hours at the aquarium? We went to one over the weekend too but we could only spend a few hours there b/c it was so crowded and full of snotty-nosed kids.
Same here! I was going nuts but my Mom didn’t seemed phased by the pushing crowds & screaming kids x_x;;
He
he - looks like good fun!
I love just dawdling through my own city/burbs - so relaxing (well, most of the time, until you run into some emo-kid who should be in school and smells like he’s harboring a family of dead ferrets about his person).
Brisbane doesn’t have an official aquarium - but it does have Underwater World - awesome tunnel thingee!
looks that yu have a lot of fun
!
that’s great~
i love acuarium tunnel, i want one
on my city too ): see ya later ♥
Lovely pictures there ^^ I love aquariums! The lighting is always so calming and nice but terrible for pictures ;_; Yours came out really well =o
mmm chili cheese dog
yeah I went to New Orleans last summers its sad to see its not the same as before
*agreed*
Ahh the Aquarium is magical.
I watching this AMAZING special on the creatures that live on the absolute bottom of the ocean - ones that never see sunlight *shivers* it was awesome
You look so skinny! Have another donut!
Hahaha thanks! Don’t mind if I do!! I reached my goal so diets over! *yaaay!*
Aw, it looks like you’re having a fantastic time minus the down bits. The insect designs are so nice! I couldn’t tell what they were until I read
You’re still young so it’s no surprise that you’re not ready for retirement, haha!
I hate going out on the boat when it’s stormy because I get extra motion sickness!
I hope you enjoyed your vacation and are relaxed for your return home
Ahhh the Aquarium! I want to go to one someday. (I don’t think I’ve ever been to one, not that I can remember of….)
Oh wow, how creative with the insects….but yes, definitely gross. I hate BUGS! I got two moths in my house when I was taking the laundry back into the house and they were clinging on to my clothes but I didn’t notice. T_____T Worse thing is it flew away and I don’t even know WHERE it is in the house so that I can kill it. D: I hope it’s dead by now because I don’t want that thing in my room.
Ew ew ew!!
Wow it all sounds so fascinating. I wish I could travel :(.
Looks like you had a blast! And bleh about the weather! I really like your outfit! Cute!
Aww you’re so lucky! i just love small towns and the country- it feels so homey and relaxing
I agree! Plus having grown up here it does feel like home~~
its great to hv vacation rite..
tho dis town isnt as fasinating as DC does .. but still looks cool !
and u seem enjoyedd too =)))
Ah yea, this town is where I grew up and my family still lives here. It’s MUCH smaller than DC & MUCH less interesting. So i guess it’s more like family visit than “vacation” since vacation usually means going somewhere better!
you are seriously so cute! you age really SLOW! thats a good thing!!! haha, my compliment sounds weird and creepy.
Hahahaha no, no it’s a compliment for sure!
what a lovely theme! and the aquarium! my brother is a fish/aquarium freak, I’m sure he would’ve loved to have been where you went!
you’re so cute!
the bugs are so scary! D:
Wow, awesome photos!
Those insect arrangement ones are really interesting.
I’m so glad you’ve had mostly a good time
I think it’s good to miss home when you’re away. It’s always great to get back to your own place, isn’t it?
Awww. I love the aquariums! Feels almost like underwater.
Superb. And I lalalove your new layout, btw. 
Yuck at the bug place, hahaha!!
I hate bugs, ugh~ but it looks
like you had a lot of fun!
I would miss the city too though~
the country is nice, but
there is just so much more
to do in the city
VERY true. I hate being there at night b/c there’s ZERO to do.
the insect display looks amazing!! especially the pastel colors on the moths and butterflies!!!!
Sounds nice~ I love trips to small(er) towns. So incredibly relaxing compared to the city!!
Wow~ a drive-in. I’m kinda sad that they don’t have any of those where I live in California.
And the aquarium looks awesome. Now I miss going there.
Seems like your having a great time in New Orleans. The insectrium was introduced not too long ago, but I never went because I don’t like insects. I was in New Orleans a week ago and traveling down Canal street still shows signs that things are still not quite right…even though to some people it may look like everything is back to normal.
i like the arrangements of the bugs!
Looks great! Love the tunnel. v(｡･ω･｡)
I miss going to the aquarium. （。；_；。） Went last summer to a great one in Ohio, it was really nice because we had really good luck, it wasn’t even crowded. :＼(*^▽^*)/
Hope you had a great trip home!
OMO! I went to that aquarium too when I went to New Orleans 2 years ago! I remember that big viewing spot~ and lol the “rainforest” thing….its really nice there!
Eek…sounds like an awesome day.
I love going to aquariums! Some fish are so exotic looking, it really stuns me. And those bugs are disgusting and yet so pretty at the same time! I’ve never seen a bug collection like that before, and don’t think I want to, lol
I love the new layout!!!!!!
Just thought I’d share.
Also I thought that dragon was a foot.
The fishies are really pretty! But the bugs make me squirm
Waa pretty aquarium! The bugs are cool too
I love the aquarium, the fish are relaxing to look at! ♥
not the bugs and the insects though xD
Wow, such cute fishes!
I’d love to go to a place like Edd’s Drive In. There’s this extremely tiny burger place by my school, it’s like a hut, and it’s always crowded. It’s just, I never get a chance to when I want to .. and I always regret it =T
I haven’t been to an aquarium since my middle school graduation trip! That was 3ish years ago.
