I love going to little hidden gems. Places that you would normally not think to go to. I love seeing what is out there, and it's even better when it's in your own backyard (figuratively speaking).
I went on an extra credit trip to the Newport Back Bay yesterday to learn that I lived 20 minutes away from an estuary. It's amazing how many species of birds, plants, and animals there are there. I definitely never saw a great egret in person before (I was a little excited) or even a bush tit. (I got a fit of giggles when I heard that. Yes, I have a maturity level of a 12 year old.)
It actually turned out the be a nice morning with a few of my awesome classmates K and D, and adorable tour guides (I have a weakness for silly old people). Our tour guide kept showing us all the scary plants that would kill us. Apparently the bay is the place to be if you want to kill someone.
The rest of the day was fun because it involved going out, and eating a giant banana split. I don't think it's humanly possible for anyone to eat a huge giant banana split by themselves. It's just too much of a good thing. :)
Can you see my pure unadulterated joy?
