Hello, reader!
Happy Sunday to you all! I hope you’re ready for another edition of The Sunday Post here on the blog. This was my first week of vacation and it has been a treat 💕 I definitely needed it!
That being said, let’s get to the wrap up.
Week in Review
So we didn’t have any firm plans for this vacation. We were supposed to be going to Virginia to visit my brother and his partner and help my parents look for possible places to move nearby, but we had to cancel. I’m sad because we were going to be staying at working farm with COWS!! I freakin’ love cows 😭 But my parents’ health comes before my love of bovines, so we at home, winging our vacay as we go.
The first trip we made was up to Boothbay, Maine to visit the Costal Maine Botanical Garden! I’m going to be honest, I had no idea this placed existed until I read The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston. The back of the book had a list of gardens that had inspired the fictional one in the book and the Costal Maine Botanical Garden was the closest one! I’m so glad we went to check it out because it was beautiful. They also had a display of five of the Thomas Dambo trolls. I’ve heard of them before but have never had a chance to see one in person. They were awesome! My youngest loved them and now wants to try the other ones that are close to where we live.
Our next adventure was at the New England Aquarium. We just renewed our membership so we figured this was a perfect time to visit! Neglected to take into consideration that there are still a ton of tourists here due to the World Cup and the Tall Ships, so it was crowded. But we still had a great time! We got to see Myrtle, the sea turtle in the middle picture and I believe the oldest resident of the aquarium. We got there right around feeding time so we got to watch her eat. We met up with my best friend afterwards for lunch and hung out near the harbor for a bit. It was a lovely day!
Then yesterday, I headed to Boston solo to spend the day with my best friend and do some yoga. Yoga was lovely, brunch afterwards was scrumptious, and then I got to just hang with my BFF and my animal nephews. She has two tortoises and a guinea pig and I love them all to pieces! The one in the picture is her oldest, Tardis, and he doesn’t come out often so it was a treat to see him.
Other than that, the last week was also filled with a lot of reading, a lot of chilling, and a lot of family time. So it has been lovely! Still not sure what we’re going to get up to next week, but that’s been part of the fun, haha. I know the beach has been mentioned so we’ll have to do that at some point. All in all, it’s been a grand vacay thus far 😊
