Adventure Day

Cost of 2 kayaks, $35. Cost of seaworthy clothes, $20. Watching my Dad try to climb into an open sea kayak, priceless.
I know, I'm evil but it was hilarious. Woke up early and decided it was the day for sea kayaking. So dad and I ventured forth and rented the kayaks and since I at least had an idea of how this stuff works I got the more experienced closed one while dad got an open kayak. Dad almost bounced out of his kayak when he stumbled into it, dropped his paddle and it was simply the definition of graceless but it was funny as hell. Dad did not enjoy himself in the least because his kayak hurt his back. I had fun but I was terrified of tipping over because the water is so bloody cold! I'm putting a pic from the other day of me standing in the water, it is frigid!!!! But I went out around the bay and faced the waves but it was a little dull alone. I had some issues with getting around the marina wall and got banged up against it a few times. I even earned a blister on my thumb from paddling. It was quite an experience.
Then we went to the zoo which cost $45 to get us all in. I'm sad we still didn't see a kiwi! Apparently they are nocturnal and the "twilight room" they keep them in is so dark you can't find anything in it. Overall the zoo was ok, they had a baby chimpanzee that was cute and a very perverse baboon that felt a need to hold onto a certain body part of his while taking a nap. The best part was the pair of otters at the beginning because they would squeak and run right up to people because they do shows where people throw fish or something at them so they expect that all the time. They were so cute, I just love otters!!!
