on a marine science center...

Today we set out to visit the Poulsbo Aquarium Marine Science Center which is located right on the waterfront in downtown Poulsbo. It 's just a ten minute walk from our house! This aquarium is non-profit and only takes donations. As soon as we set foot into the small aquarium we were greeted by friendly volunteers who walk around telling you bits and pieces about all the marine life. Sebastian was loving the conversations with all them. The first room had a neat "please touch" tank where you were able to pick up starfish and other living things. Sebastian was the most excited for this and after we looked around we saved that for last. Here are some fun photos to show you of our time there…

We saw a sleepy octopus and so many different colored starfish, Sebastian even held the brightest of them all! We found Nemo and his dad being playful in one of the tanks and they were very photogenic as you can see. Nemo's dad looked right at me for one of them! As we walked around there was even a skeleton of a gray whale above! We had fun and I can't wait to go back.

on a welcome to poulsbo, washington...

Welcome to Poulsbo, Washington! Sebastian and I arrived very late last Thursday night since our flight was delayed. Our flight was one of the top worst flights in all history. Sebastian and I had a very hard time dealing with the long flight but we got through it! Bobby and my dad pulled up in front of the house on Saturday night. I was jumping in glee seeing them step out of the truck. It took them about 42 hours to drive from Philadelphia to Poulsbo. They made AMAZING time and I am so thankful for them. The universe was on our side, it truly was!

Sebastian and I adventured around Poulsbo for a couple days before the men arrived home. Downtown Poulsbo is the cutest town ever. It's only about a ten minute walk from my parents house and we've been walking down there at least once a day all week! Along with the beautiful waterfront.

Bobby and I took advantage of some alone time and took a walk back to the town hand in hand yesterday. I was able to take my time and walk into all the fun shops along the way. There are a few that are my favorite that I plan on sharing in detail with yall. If you still need to get some Christmas shopping done Poulsbo is a wonderful place to pick up very neat & unique gifts!

So far, I visited two different coffee shops. The first one, from the outside look very trendy and totally my style but when I walked in I was very let down. Poulsbohemian Coffeehouse isn't much of a coffee house. I was even more let down when I actually tasted the coffee. A big bummer! After that I was determined to find my spot for some legit java. When one of my friends recommended Hot Shots Java I was excited to try it and this time I was not disappointed. Great drip coffees with a pleasant atmosphere and a fun latte selection (good for Bobby!).

Sluys Bakery has become our guilty pleasure. Holy Smokes! I am in so much trouble with this place being so close. Yesterday Bobby and I both picked out a treat to indulge in. Bobby picked a Viking Cup which was a ginormous cinnamon with a mountain of sweet cream cheese frosting and I chose an amazing Maple Bar! 

I'm so happy to be home and to call Poulsbo home. My dad's house has been very warm and inviting! We've settling in and are now starting to plan and figure out how to get back into an everyday routine. It's been nice to have a little staycation and I am with out a doubt going to enjoy it to the max.

xoxo.
