I'm on a roll!

So yesterday a few of us decided to stop sitting around on our days off, so we walked downtown and went to the botannical gardens here in Rock Island. We were thinking it would take an hour or two...ummm...maybe 20 minutes? It's a pretty small place, but nice. The best part was feeding the multisized koi in the pond (some HUGE ones with crazy suctioning mouths that would come out of the water to grab the food) and petting the tortoise, she's 20 and pretty big. I guess the $3 wasn't money horribly spent, and my roommate and I decided to buy the pass for RI ($20) that lets us go to 6 different museums, zoo, etc. around town. It should all prove to be very intersting, at least for a few minutes.

(picture is of the pretty spot...we're proud of ours guys, they almost look straight! although the purple shirt and plaid might give it away;)
