Luke came to Boston for a short weekend visit. While walking all around the city, we kept seeing huge posters of adorable baby penguins advertising the New England Aquarium. When baby penguins talk to you showcasing their personalities all over the city, how can you not go to the Aquarium?
Of course we loved the penguins, even saw them eat some fish, but also got to check out tons of other phenomenal animals like these fish and stingray. Click on the picture for more photos on Flickr of the Aquarium and even Fenway Park.
Spent 4th of July weekend up near Lake Sebago in Maine with great friends. We swam, read books, played cards, and generally indulged. Maine is beautiful (full Flickr set).
I’d been hearing good things for a while about the bars and restaurants at the ironically named Liberty Hotel, located inside a renovated old city jail.
The space is undeniably breathtaking. The crowd? Typical: late 20s/early 30s professionals, dressed to impress. Also typical: the occasional d-bag or two mixed in with the beautiful people, the former and latter not necessarily being mutually exclusive.

Who knew that a wire mesh letter tray would double as a perfect earrings organizer?

Jocie & I walked to the Indian market in downtown Waltham for additional lemon drops ingredients. Lemons were 4 for $1. Why do Shaw’s and Whole Foods sell them for 89 cents a piece?

Kunming Hat Tournament in the city of “Eternal Spring.” March 6-7, 2010. Good times.
