wishing we were in CT

zack is away this weekend visiting his family and i'm more than a little sad we're not there. i love when family is all together in the same place, it makes me so happy.

thea and i made the best of our weekend alone and took a trip to sea world. i have VERY mixed feelings about sea world, especially after seeing this, but we already had one year unlimited passes and it's just so damn convenient. it takes us less than 10 minutes from our front door to get inside the park and thea can run around until she drops. today we went on some rides and saw the shamu show. then i let her play in the padded pit, which is the equivalent of putting her in a hampster wheel, she's totally exhausted when she's finished.

here are a few photos with some of her favorite sesame characters:
