Festival in the street!

 A week ago on Saturday Sam and I and our friend Lori had the wonderful opportunity to go to the National Aquarium! It was amazing! We saw dolphins and jelly fish, Sharks, and Manta rays! The place is built kinda like and indoor zoo and some parts really look like you are going through a Rain forest! They have rocks, trees, birds, lizards, snakes, and spiders. It was one of the funnest things we have done and completely amazing! I saw things I have never seen before! We even saw a 4D movie about animals around the world! The only bad part is Sam and I forgot to bring the camera! Ooops! Oh well better luck next time! 

This last week hasn't been all that exciting... Sam started work and as soon as he did I got sick. Nothing too bad but enough to be uncomfortable. Sam started work last Wednesday and loves it! In his words he feels like he works for two hours then gets paid to sit and read for the rest of the day. Needless to say he has been going through books like crazy! He has read up to Harry Potter four in about a week and a half. I am very impressed. When Sam is at work I wander around town and look for jobs (until I got sick) then I usually scrub the apartment as much as I can and try to get dinner started before he gets home..basically I am bored...I need to find more to do. Last Saturday was the Charles Village Festival! It was mostly your basic festival with bands and vendors but there was something I had never seen before. They call it a beer garden...the idea is you pay a certain amount of money and you go in and its all you can drink. It was funny seeing all these slap happy people laying around listening to the band and drinking, all while their kids were playing at the park. I thought hmm if this is what its like when their kids are here then I bet it gets really rowdy after dark.  Another cool thing about the festival is instead of doing it in the park on the grass they close the street next to the park and put the booths up in the street. 

The other adventure of the week was getting me to the doctors this morning.  Sam took off work so we could venture down to Concentra Urgent Care and get me some antibiotics. We left at 8:15 in the morning. Since we don't have a car we take a series of buses and shuttles to get places. Lucky the doctors was in an are we had been to many times and knew exactly how to get there. Unfortunate because of construction and full buses  we didn't there till ten (and its only three miles away, three miles in Utah would have taken 5 minutes). Then we sat and waited for another hour then they took me back and did a large amount of unnecessary and painful tests. The doctors and nurses though were so funny they couldn't believe I was married. They kept saying but your just a baby! ( You'd be surprised how many times I have been called a "baby" over here)  Nor could they believe that I didn't smoke or drink. They would say really? Then say thats so great! Never the less they were so happy for me and Sam. Finally they gave me my prescriptions and I left to find Sam waiting for me with my favorite Mac and Cheese from Noodles and Company. He is the best!

Well those are our Adventures for the week. NAP TIME! :)
