The Adventures at Coral World

The day after our hike on St. John, my parents and I decided to visit Coral World, where Ty works. Amber joined us as well. 

Ty was able to get us all in for free which was awesome and gave us a tour of the place. we got to watch him do a few of his animal talks. He is amazing at his job!

In the afternoon we were able to do some fun stuff. Ty got us in to do Sea Trek which is where you wear a helmet underwater. It was pretty awesome and my parent loved it. At first it was really weird because I couldn't look around and move like I do in my snorkel gear, but after getting used to it, it was fun. 

We weren't supposed to do anything fun, like try to swim or jump but at one point I turned around and I was looking at Ambers belly button cause she was jumping up and down! It was hilarious watching her do that because I could see her face but couldn't hear her, so I only imagined her giggles. Squating down and jumping was fun too. I turned to Amber and started mouthing “oompa loompa” and when we got out of the water, she said she knew exactly what I was saying. 

After the Sea Trek, Ty met us out of the water and said that we were able to do some encounters! We walked over to the shark tank where we were able to swim with the sharks. Then we got to cuddle with a sea turtle! She was super sweet. Ive held babies, but never been so close to a full grown sea turtle. That part was my favorite of the day. 

We wrapped up the day at my favorite place on Island, a sushi place. They have the best vegetarian sushi that I have ever had!


My parents left on Tuesday, after a day at the beach, to head back to the frozen tundra. I forget that it is cold other places… Sucks to be them! :P

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...

Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend! So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life... I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads... This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way.  I sp...
