Moss Lady Legs

While Pip was otherwise occupied, I spent a refreshing hour at the pool with my mom and sister. I'd say I've got some pretty good genes. Lookin good ladies!

The Race: Who do you Think Wins?

This may be a minute of your life that you can never get back but we sure thought it was fun. Turns out that the U of Minnesota campus can be a pretty great place to play.

Giftshops and Bathrooms

Naturally, this little project has consumed our thoughts and conversations throughout the week. Really part of the point of doing it after all.

So, as I use "using the ladies" in Spoonriver today, I thought you all might be interested in bathroom reviews as well. It's a bit too late for that now but of the commodes that I have visited along the way, they have all embodied the character of the place. At Heidi's however the door to the potty area was in the middle of the dining room. As soon as I saw it, I thought the room smelled funny. Once I passed through the door, the hallway leading to the M and W was quite nice. At Spoonriver, there was no door to The hallway, just an archway. It made me wonder if my Heidi's experience could have been avoided with an archway instead of a door.

Another future thought has been gift shops. As I mentioned in the Sea Life post, I was very excited for the gift shop only to find a room filled with cheap Nemos and Arielles. At the Guthrie, however I was in my Gift Shop element. We got the above poster, yes with another coupon, special for the gift shop. 20% off. Total Savings: $4.

Fun with Fish

As previously mentioned, our trip to Sea Life was a pleasant surprise. I was a skeptic as we fought our way through rush hour traffic to go to the Mall, of all places. This place was simple and fun and we liked it so much we went through a second time. With our wrist bands, we could go through as many times as we wanted until the Mall closed.

Our first stop was to take a closer look at the Garden Eels...

These were the craziest little guys I've ever seen. I really wanted the gift store to have a tiny snow globe version to put on my desk. No such luck :(

After passing through the Sea Horse tanks,  Pip pointed out the sign of the Sea Horse King...

This is where it goes from good to great. Sea Life has an underwater tunnel where the fish swim around and over you. We're not sure what type of fish this guy was but he sure wasn't shy about showing us his under carriage.

I'll leave you with this final photo of Pip and the Jellies.

Why this cute little shop did not have logo adorned apparel, I may never know. I even had a coupon for $5 off $25. #fail

Don't worry...

For those of you who miss our smiling faces, we will add more pics of us as the week goes on.
