Mom came to visit

Mom came to visit me for the weekend (yay!). Yesterday I picked her up from the Orlando airport and on the way home we stopped at the Florida Wildlife Hospital and Mom attended an orientation session with me so that I can start volunteering there. I’m really excited about learning to take care of Florida animals like tortoises and pelicans. For dinner we picked a random restaurant on A1A, Enigma. It had really nice décor, a fish tank, and vegetarian food. On the way out we stopped and browsed jewelry tables that had been set up for a ladies night out event. I found a necklace that I liked so Mom bought the necklace for me for my birthday and also got the matching bracelet so we can have a mother daughter jewelry set. Then we headed to the beach.
Today we headed to the beach first thing in the morning and we searched for shells. After that we went to the Brevard Zoo. Mom got me a membership, which is the other part of my birthday present, so that I can go whenever I want for free. They have a really nice zoo, and since Florida has warm weather, the entire zoo is outside. We went kayaking through Africa and we got to feed nectar to the birds. My favorite animal was probably the bats. After to zoo we stopped by FIT so that I could check on my admission status and to check out the campus. The person there said that they were going to be reviewing applications in the upcoming week so hopefully I will be hearing from them soon.
