Day 45

Happy Birthday Nellie!!!!!
Nellie is JU's mascot and she turned 57 today; she is the oldest living dolphin in captivity. At Marineland today, I met the daughter of the woman they named Nellie after! She was the ticket lady at Marineland in the 50's and so they named the new baby dolphin after her, and Nellie the dolphin is setting world records with her lifespan! I also met a woman who grew up at Marineland, and Nellie was her best friend--she would swim laps with her every night!
A very fun, unique day; It's pretty cool to have a live mascot that's for sure!

One of the trainers told us some of the things Nellie has lived through in her lifetime: the invention of the Barbie doll, velcro, the Vietnam War, Kennedy's assassination, WaterGate, Beatlemania, the first man on the moon, Martin Luther King's I had a Dream speech, and 9/11, for just a few! She has already doubled the life span of a normal dolphin wild or captive. She's quite the special dolphin!!

Day 44

They say home is where the heart is, and I would agree. I have a thing for doors and windows, not sure why, but I love photographing different doors and windows. Every major adventure I've gone on, I've taken tons of pictures of doors and windows (from Italy to Mexico to Scotland). But of all the beautiful, quaint, and exotic doors I've seen, this one will always be my favorite. I will always love coming around the bend of our road and seeing this red welcome!!

My new car! Poppa and Momma bought me a new (well used!) Kia Spectra for school. It's the perfect size, and is lots of fun to drive!
