i can't see ANYTHING

Duhh. I forgot to write about the most recent wonderful adventure in my life. Boston with Lizzie and Caitlin! Also known as the weekend Emily saw the funniest thing she's ever seen and will forever laugh at whenever she thinks of it. The thing I'm talking about of course is the David video of the kid drugged up from the dentist. Specifically, it's the scream that gets me. The look on his face and the way he goes back to being a slug like nothing happened- ahahaha I'm laughing right now.

Anywaysss, the trip! The adventure began when Cait came to pick me up and gave me the task of reading the directions for her. Anticipating this duty, and knowing that I am capable of messing up directions even if they are written plainly in front of my face, I brought Tom along so that he could tell us exactly where to go. This was an excellent plan and it worked well until I began talking about something in the car with Cait and stopped listening to him and we completely missed our turn off. Luckily, Cait pays attention to things when she drives and realized we were in the wrong place. This was TRULY the only time I made us get lost, not counting at the verrry end of the trip when I looked at the wrong street name on the directions and we missed the turn on to Lizzie's road :)

The drive up with Cait was pretty fun. We talked about topics such as: racist stereotypes that we have found to be true, our mutual love for Morning Joe, and of course Octo Mom. We also experienced a mini God-sign when "Part of Your World" came on the radio right after we got off the phone with Lizzie! That's how we knew our weekend would be blessed.

So, Lizzie lives in an awesome house with lots of room and very comfortable beds and therefore you should all visit her! Once we got ourselves unpacked the three of us headed out to Cambridge to begin out Valentine's Day date. We walked around in Harvard Square, taking pictures of any ice cream store we saw for research purposes, and had a great time looking in the Harvard Book store. Lizzie and I mostly enjoyed the story we found about a Naked Mole Rat who decides he would prefer to wear clothes.

After Harvard Sq. we planned to go to this awesome tapas restaurant called ChiChi's or something. That's definitely not the name but I'm blanking. Sadly, we got there and the wait was like 2 hours long. We decided to go to a middle eastern place instead and get couscous. After that, we decided to walk in the 20 degree weather to get some ice cream! It was mostly an excuse to get more pictures for Cait's research but the ice cream was VERY yummyyy. Finally, although I was in an ice cream coma, Lizzie brought us to a bar near her place to get drinks. We didn't stay long though because we were all getting tired so instead we went home to snuggle on the couch and watch Enchanted. It was my idea of a perfect Saturday night!

The next day we all decided to go to the Aquarium. Lizzie wanted to see the penguins, Cait loves seals, and I enjoy sea turtles! It was going to be glorious! When we got there the line was super long. It was also full of kids, and it was freezing cold out. This usually is a recipe for an unpleasant experience and I think we were all wondering if the wait would be worth it but then we made it to a part of the line that was underneath a tent that had been set up and the whole scenario magically changed. Under the tent there was Disney music playing, free hot chocolate and cookies, and many happy children dressed in adorable mini coats. It was one of the best line waiting experiences of my life.

The Aquarium truly was a glorious experience as we had anticipated. There were seals! turtles! penguins! and doofus sharks! Lizzie and I spent a good 15 min at the window of one of the tanks taking pictures of the sharks. And of ourselves imitating the sharks. And of ourselves making doofus noises while imitating the sharks.

Mmmkayy so this is getting long and Top CHef is on so I'm gonna stop here and I'll tell you the rest later! Basically, we drink and eat a lot. TBC...
