Last Day at the SLP

Friday was the last day for all of the Summer 2011 Sea Life Park Interns. Courtney and I went into the park just as tourist...well tourists with backstage access. We watched a couple of shows. I said my goodbyes to miss Abby, and we got to do a meet and greet with Willy the penguin from HOT (Hawaiian Ocean Theater). It was a sad but fun day, but I have to remember that this adventure is ending so that another one can begin. Three months on a tiny island in the pacific has changed me in ways I could never have imagined. To celebrate and thank Jeremy and Shelly for all the little and bigger things they'd done for us throughout this summer Courtney and I treated all of us to a dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. One last night out for the "House of Sarcasm". I had Thomas make a framed picture from a picture I made on the 4th of July of the entire house that Abby later dubbed the "House of Sarcasm". It fits us all.
